Vitreoretinal Diseases

Vitreoretinal diseases refer to conditions affecting the vitreous—the gel-like substance in the eye—and the retina, the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye. These diseases can lead to vision problems, such as blurred vision, floaters, or even blindness. Common issues include retinal detachment, diabetic retinopathy, and macular degeneration. Treatment often involves medication, laser therapy, or surgery to repair damage and restore vision. Early diagnosis and management are crucial to preserving eye health and minimizing vision loss. Regular eye check-ups are important, especially for individuals with risk factors like diabetes or a family history of eye disease.
