The vitreoretina comprises the retina—the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye—and the vitreous, the gel-like substance filling the eye. Diseases affecting this complex can cause vision problems ranging from mild blurriness to severe vision loss.
◑︎ Retinal Detachment: The retina separates from its underlying tissue, causing sudden vision loss or flashes.
◑︎ Diabetic Retinopathy: Damage to retinal blood vessels due to diabetes, potentially leading to vision loss.
◑︎ Macular Degeneration: Age-related damage to the central part of the retina (macula) affecting fine vision.
Vitreoretinal specialists use advanced imaging like OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) and fundus photography to diagnose these conditions. Treatments may include laser therapy, vitrectomy surgery (removal of the vitreous gel), or injections to control abnormal blood vessel growth.
Early diagnosis and prompt treatment preserve vision effectively.
