Retina Articles

The retina is the nerve layer lining the back of the eye where vision begins; its diseases often progress without pain and by the time they are noticed vision may already be affected. In this category we cover diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, retinal tears and detachment, floaters and flashes: the symptoms, which situations are emergencies, which tests are done at the examination and who injections, laser and vitrectomy are suitable for. The articles are written for people with diabetes, readers over 50 and high myopes in particular. See our Retina Treatments page for diagnosis and treatment, or use the quick appointment form.
