• The human eye is the most sensitive organ in the
  body. The retina is a light-sensing tissue that
  resides at the back of our eyes. The retina is
  responsible for creating images and conveying
  them to our brain. An unhealthy retina can make
  your reading, writing, and driving a lot
  challenging.
• A retinal disease affects the light-sensing
  tissue and disrupts our vision. Lack of proper
  care and treatment can also result in partial or
  complete loss of sight. There are several types
  of retinal diseases caused due to ageing,
  diabetes, and other health factors. Early
  diagnosis and regular eye check-ups can help
  prevent the disease with effective treatment and
  protect your vision.
• In this blog, we will discuss some of the common
  retinal diseases and their symptoms.

• Floaters
• Floaters can be the result of a torn retina
  tissue. The symptoms include black spots in your
  vision. It generally occurs as an ageing effect
  but can also happen to patients suffering from
  severe near-sightedness. Our eyes are made up of
  jelly substance, which becomes more liquid, and
  clumps cast a shadow on the retina. If the proper
  diagnosis is delayed, the fluid accumulates
  behind the retina and can lead to retinal
  detachment.
• Macular Degeneration
• It is an age-related condition, and if left
  untreated, it can cause central vision loss.
  Macular degeneration is more common in patients
  above the age of 55. The symptoms include
• Blurry eye vision
• Warped straight lines
• Difficulty focusing on one fine detail
• Blind spots

• Good news is, there are treatments available to
  cure macular degeneration. The treatment includes
  an antioxidant supplement, which eases the
  symptoms and blocks the development of unhealthy
  blood vessels.
• Diabetic Retinopathy
• A diabetic patient is at higher risk of
  developing the retinal disease. Some of the most
  common symptoms of diabetic retinopathy are
• Blurry vision
• Double vision
• Floaters
• Blind spots
• Pain in at least one eye
• Face difficulty with peripheral vision
• Flashing lights
• Car headlights and rings

  Diabetic patients are also at a higher risk of
  developing glaucoma and cataracts. We ensure the
  patients recover from diabetic eye disease and
  reclaim their sharp, active vision.
• Retinal Detachment
• As mentioned earlier, retinal detachment occurs
  when the jelly-like fluid accumulates at the back
  of the retina and causes separation. Also, other
  factors might increase the risk of causing
  retinal detachment, such as
• Extreme near-sightedness
• Previous retinal detachment in one eye
• Genetic predisposition
• Previous cataract surgery
• Accidental eye injury or trauma
• Previous eye disorder

• Retinal detachment can also occur due to the
  presence of floaters. Delay in treatment can
  result in partial or complete vision loss. If you
  are noticing floaters in your vision, consult the
  best retina specialist in Mumbai at Samarth Eye
  Care Clinic.
• Retinitis Pigmentosa
• Retinitis Pigmentosa refers to a genetic
  condition which may lead to retinal detachment.
  There are many retinal diseases classified under
  Retinitis Pigmentosa, such as
• Lebers congenital amaurosis
• Usher syndrome
• Bardet-Biedel syndrome
• Rod-cone syndrome
• Refsum disease

• One of the earliest symptoms of this syndrome is
  night blindness. But, many people also complain
  to suffer from central vision loss and colour
  blindness. Since it is a genetic condition,
  adults and adolescents are at higher risk of
  developing such eye diseases.
