Retinal diseases are difficult to be identified easily because your eyes and vision will appear to be perfect while there is some problem in your retina at back your eyes. Ignored retinal problems might even potentially end up blinded eyes, resulting

Diabetic/High blood pressure patients

Diabetics or high blood pressure could cause problems in blood vessels and circulation of blood in any part of the body. Retina is not an exception. It can make retina to swell and affect its function and make the vision blur. For some patients, new blood vessels form to substitute what were closed due to blood blockages and these tend to beso immature which can result in spontaneously bleeding, possibly ending up in a sudden loss of vision.

Age-related macular degeneration

Aging makes the eyes dry or wet, depending on the person. In wet type, retina at times swells with blood and fluid causing vision problems. It is commonly heard our elders complain about poor eyesight and this is due to such changes.

This is due to the damage in the tiny central point in retina which displays the image. One with dry eye would notice yellowish spots in and around the macula and these are symptoms of weakening tissue. Although dry eye condition is worse than wet eye condition, untreated might bring vision loss.

In wet macular degeneration, new blood cells grow abnormally and start to leak blood or fluid. The effect on retina of a wet eye is faster and disastrous. This condition can be defined in two ways:

Occult – This is when the cell growth is beneath the retina and leakage is less noticeable

Classic – This is when the cell growth is very visible and leakages are observable.

Tumors
Some people have non-cancerous vascular tumors which could cause retina to swell and blur the vision.

Many methods are available for retinal treatment. We will discuss about Laser surgery and Intra-vitreal injection methods of treating retinal diseases.
