vitreoretinal disorders

Vitreoretinal disorders involve problems related to the vitreous gel—the clear, jelly-like substance filling the eye's center—and the retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. These conditions include issues like retinal tears or detachments, diabetic retinopathy, and age-related macular degeneration. Such disorders can cause vision changes, floaters, or loss of sight if untreated. They often require examination and treatments like laser therapy, injections, or surgery to prevent or restore vision. Early detection and management are crucial for maintaining eye health and visual function.
