Retinal (Vitreoretinal) Services

Retinal (vitreoretinal) disorders can reduce vision and affect daily activities. Conditions such as diabetic retinopathy, retinal detachment, and other abnormalities often develop without early symptoms.

Through comprehensive retinal examinations, doctors can detect these conditions early and help prevent further vision damage.

Understanding the Retina

The retina is a thin layer at the back of the eye that captures light and converts it into visual signals for the brain. In front of the retina, the vitreous acts as a clear gel-like substance that fills and supports the eye.

Abnormalities or diseases of the retina can lead to vision problems. Therefore, regular retinal examinations by an ophthalmologist especially a vitreoretinal specialist are important for early detection.

Symptoms to Watch For

Many retinal conditions develop without clear symptoms in the early stages. However, sudden changes may occur in certain cases and require immediate attention.

If you notice any of the following signs, consult a medical professional promptly:

Floaters – small spots or black specks drifting in your vision, often resembling cobwebs

Flashes (Photopsia) – brief flashes of light, especially in dark environments

Vision Loss – blurred vision or a shadow/curtain-like effect over your sight

Visual Distortion – objects appear wavy, tilted, or irregular
