As we mark World Retina Day 2024, Drishti Eye Centre is proud to join the global community in raising awareness about retinal health and advancements in retinal care. The retina, a critical part of the eye, plays a fundamental role in our ability to see, and understanding its health is vital for maintaining good vision throughout our lives.
What is the Retina?
The retina is a thin layer of tissue located at the back of the eye. It captures light that enters the eye and converts it into electrical signals that are sent to the brain, where they are processed into the images we see. Essentially, the retina acts like the film in a camera, enabling us to perceive the world in vivid detail and color.

Common Retinal Disorders
Several conditions can affect the retina, leading to vision impairment or even blindness if left untreated. Some of the most common retinal disorders include:
Diabetic Retinopathy: Caused by damage to the blood vessels in the retina due to high blood sugar levels.
Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD): A condition that affects the central part of the retina, leading to loss of central vision.
Retinal Detachment: A medical emergency where the retina separates from the back of the eye.
Retinitis Pigmentosa: A group of genetic disorders that lead to progressive retinal degeneration and vision loss.

Early detection and treatment of retinal disorders are crucial for preserving vision. Regular comprehensive eye exams can help identify issues before they become severe.
