Retinal disorders are conditions that affect the retina, the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye. These disorders can lead to vision problems, including blurred vision or even blindness. Common retinal disorders include age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and retinal detachment. Early detection and treatment are crucial to prevent permanent damage. Symptoms of retinal disorders may include seeing floaters, flashes of light, or a shadow over your vision. Regular eye exams are essential for maintaining eye health, especially for those at higher risk, such as individuals with diabetes or a family history of eye diseases.
