retinal degenerate diseases

Retinal degenerative diseases are conditions that lead to the gradual deterioration of the retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. These diseases, such as age-related macular degeneration and retinitis pigmentosa, can result in vision loss and difficulty seeing details or colors. They often affect central or peripheral vision and can impact daily activities. Causes may include genetic factors, aging, or environmental influences. While there is currently no universal cure, early detection and management can help preserve vision and improve quality of life for those affected. Regular eye exams are essential for monitoring eye health.
