Retina Treatment in Hyderabad

The retina is a layer of cells at the back of the eyeball. This layer detects light entering the eyeball and sends signals to the brain. The most important parts of the retina include the rods and cones, which convert light into electrical signals for the brain, and the macula, which enables you to see details clearly.

What are the causes of retinal diseases?

There is no uniform cause of retinal diseases.

  • 1) An individual can inherit some conditions such as Usher syndrome, Stargardt disease and retinitis pigmentosa.
  • 2) Other types of retinal damage (retinopathy) can occur in other conditions. Diabetes and high blood pressure can damage blood vessels and damage the retina. Inflammation can also cause damage.
  • 3) Eye injuries can damage the retina and macula. Macular pucker sometimes appear after eye surgery.
