Diseases of the Retina and Vitreous
Our
retinal specialists focus on treatment of the retina, macula and vitreous. The retina
is the light sensitive tissue that lines the inside of the eye.
The
Retina is the light sensitive tissue that lines the inside
of the eye. It transmits light to the brain via the optic nerve.
The
Macula is the functional center of the retina. It gives us
the ability to see straight ahead, see small print and appreciate
colors.
Light
is normally focused onto our retina by our glasses, Cornea
and Lens. Assuming that the retina is healthy, good vision
should result. Macular diseases typically affect central vision.
Retinal diseases may affect the peripheral vision, but may have
an impact on central vision as well if the macula is involved.
