Retina clinic intoduction
The retina is like the film in a camera. It is the seeing tissue of the eye. When the focused light hits the retina, a picture is created and sent to the brain through the optic nerve (the nerve of the eye), thus giving us vision.
Retina has two parts: The peripheral retina and central Macula. Macula being the central part, is capable of producing sharp and clear image. This clear images enable us to read , write and do all fine work.
Conditions like Diabetes, Age related Macular degeneration and Macular holes can damage retina.
Retinal Problems
Floaters, eye flashes and sudden onset of blurry vision are the most common symptoms of a retinal problem. If it's a child, a whitish reflex in the kid's eyes could indicate a retinal complication. Especially if the child was born preterm, it becomes absolutely essential to do a retinal evaluation to rule out retinopathy of prematurity.
