Wills Eye Retina Specialists Are Leaders in the Field
Our retinal specialist team has pioneered the clinical care, research efforts, and development of all major innovations in retina care for 60 years. These highly-skilled and experienced surgeons have been intimately involved in the development of most of the treatments for many retinal diseases, including the latest treatments for macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy.
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.
Early symptoms of retinal disease include:
A retinal detachment is a separation of the retina from the underlying layers of the eye wall.
Macular degeneration affects people age 50 years and older and is associated with central vision loss.
Treatment options for retinal disease range from surgical interventions to injections of air, gas, or liquid into the eye. Your exact course of treatment depends on your specific diagnosis and your symptoms.
