Retinal diseases are a range of disorders that affect the thin layer of tissue lining the back of the eye. The retina, which is responsible for receiving light and converting it into neural signals for the brain, is one of the most important parts of the eye. Wills Eye retina ophthalmologists (is this really a term we want to use? I know of no other doctor or hospital except for MAR that use it.) maybe use specialists? are proficient in treating the following diseases:
Diabetic retinopathy is caused by the elevated blood sugar damaging the small blood vessels in the retina.
Macular degeneration affects people 50 years of age and older and is associated with central vision loss.
A retinal detachment or retinal tear is a separation of the retina from the underlying layers of the eye wall.
Retinal vein occlusion is a blockage in the blood vessel of your eye that can result in sight loss.
MACULAR HOLE
A macular hole means that the center part of your retina called the macula, has developed a defect where the retinal tissue is stretched open.
MACULAR PUCKER
This condition is characterized by an abnormal, thin, cellophane-like piece of tissue that grows as a sheet on the surface of the center of the retina (macula).
RETINAL ARTERY OBSTRUCTION
The loss of vision which you have experienced is the result of a blockage in blood flow to the retina, which is located in the back of the eye.
CENTRAL SEROUS RETINOPATHY
Central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) is a condition that causes fluid to build up underneath the center of the retina (macula).
Improving patient care now and for future generations.
