Retinal health

Retinal health refers to the condition and functioning of the retina, a thin layer of tissue at the back of the eye that is crucial for vision. It converts light into signals that the brain interprets as images. Maintaining retinal health is vital for clear vision and preventing diseases like macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and retinal detachment. Factors that support retinal health include a balanced diet rich in antioxidants, regular eye check-ups, controlling blood sugar and blood pressure levels, protecting eyes from UV light, and avoiding smoking. Early detection of issues is key to preserving vision.
