The retina and vitreous are vital to clear vision and overall eye health. At Advanced Eye Care Center, we provide expert care for conditions affecting these critical parts of the eye. Using state-of-the-art diagnostics and personalized treatment plans, our goal is to protect your vision and enhance your quality of life.
What Are the Retina and Vitreous?
The retina is a thin layer of light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye that processes visual information and sends it to the brain. The vitreous is a clear, gel-like substance that fills the inside of the eye, helping it maintain its shape and supporting retinal function. Both work together to produce the sharp, detailed vision needed for everyday life.
Common Retina & Vitreous Conditions We Treat
At Advanced Eye Care Center, we treat a range of retinal and vitreous conditions, including:
- Retinal Detachment: A medical emergency requiring immediate surgical intervention.
- Diabetic Retinopathy: Damage to retinal blood vessels caused by diabetes.
- Macular Degeneration: A leading cause of vision loss in older adults.
- Macular Holes: Small breaks in the retina’s central area.
- Retinal Tears: Early-stage detachments requiring urgent care.
Recognize the Signs, Protect Your Vision
Retinal Detachment: A Medical Emergency
Retinal detachment happens when something lifts or pulls the retina away from the wall of the eye. Without immediate treatment, this condition can cause permanent vision loss. Symptoms include:
- A curtain appearing over your field of vision.
- Flashes of light or sudden increase in floaters.
- Wavy or blurred vision.
- A rapid decrease in vision.
Who is at Risk?
Individuals who are very nearsighted.
Older adults or those with a family history of retinal detachment.
Patients with diabetes or a history of cataract surgery.
Treatment Options:
Our doctors treat retinal detachment with surgery, which may include:
- Scleral Buckle: A synthetic band placed around the eyeball to press the wall of the eye against the detached retina.
- Laser or Cryopexy: Techniques to secure the retina during surgery.
