Other Retinal Conditions

The retina is the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye, and a range of conditions can affect it beyond diabetes and AMD. These include retinal tears, retinal detachments, and other structural changes that require prompt attention. If you have been referred for a retinal concern, we will assess your eyes thoroughly and discuss your options clearly.

Understanding Retinal Conditions

Retinal disorders can cause vision changes ranging from mild blurriness to sudden vision loss. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are essential to protect vision and prevent complications.

Common Conditions:

Retinal tears and detachments
Vascular occlusions
Macular holes and puckers
