What is Retina & Vitreous?

Understanding Retinal Conditions

Retinal diseases can range from mild to severe and often develop silently. One of the most common causes of retinal damage is Diabetic Retinopathy, a condition linked to diabetes that affects the tiny blood vessels of the retina.

With the growing burden of diabetes, regular retinal screening is essential, even when vision appears normal.

Common Symptoms to Watch For

  • Blurred or fluctuating vision
  • Floaters (spots or threads in vision)
  • Flashes of light
  • Dark or empty areas in vision
  • Sudden vision loss
