Your eyes are one of the most precious organs, and the retina plays a crucial role in maintaining clear vision. The retina is a thin layer of tissue located at the back of your eye, responsible for converting light into neural signals that the brain interprets as images. When the retina is damaged, it can lead to severe and sometimes irreversible vision loss.
👁️ Understanding the Retina and Its Importance
The retina is a delicate layer of light-sensitive tissue located at the back of the eye. It converts light into electrical signals that are sent to the brain via the optic nerve, enabling us to see. Any damage or disease affecting the retina can cause visual disturbances or even permanent blindness.
At Pramá Eye Centre, we specialize in retina care and treatment in Mumbai, helping patients detect retinal problems early and receive personalized management for better vision outcomes.
⚠️ Common Retinal Conditions You Should Know
1. Diabetic Retinopathy
A leading cause of blindness among adults, diabetic retinopathy occurs when high blood sugar damages tiny blood vessels in the retina.
Symptoms: Blurred vision, floating spots, difficulty seeing at night.
Treatment: Laser therapy, anti-VEGF injections, and strict diabetes control can prevent further vision loss.
2. Macular Degeneration
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) affects the macula, the central part of the retina responsible for sharp vision.
Symptoms: Difficulty reading, recognizing faces, or seeing fine details.
Treatment: Early detection, nutritional supplements, and advanced retinal imaging help slow progression.
3. Retinal Detachment
This is a medical emergency where the retina peels away from its supportive layer.
Symptoms: Sudden flashes of light, floaters, or a dark curtain over your vision.
Treatment: Immediate laser or surgical repair is essential to prevent blindness.
4. Retinal Tears
These occur when the retina develops small cracks or tears, often a precursor to retinal detachment.
Treatment: Quick laser sealing prevents further damage and preserves vision.
🧠 Why Early Diagnosis Matters
Most retinal conditions are painless and asymptomatic in the early stages. Regular eye check-ups can help identify problems before vision loss occurs.
At Pramá Eye Centre, we use state-of-the-art diagnostic tools such as:
- Fundus Photography
- Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)
- Fluorescein Angiography
These advanced technologies enable our specialists to detect even minor retinal changes early and start the right treatment immediately.
