Retina and Uvea

The retina is a layer of cells at the back of your eyeball that converts light into nerve signals. It then sends those signals along your optic nerve to your brain, where they are processed into images.

The uvea is a vascular layer of tissue that lies between the retina and the sclera (the white part of the eye).

Both the retina and uvea are essential for healthy vision. Any damage to these structures can lead to vision loss or blindness.


Retina and Uvea

Common Eye Conditions Affecting the Retina and Uvea

  • Age-related macular degeneration (AMD): A condition where the macula deteriorates, leading to blurred or distorted vision.
  • Diabetic retinopathy: Damage to the retina's blood vessels due to diabetes, which can cause vision loss.
  • Retinal detachment: A separation of the retina from its underlying layer, which requires immediate treatment.
  • Retinal vascular occlusions: Blockages in the retinal blood vessels that can lead to sudden vision loss.
  • Macular holes and epiretinal membranes: Affect the macula, leading to distorted vision, often requiring surgical intervention.
  • Retinitis pigmentosa: A genetic disorder causing progressive damage to the retina, especially the rods.
  • Hypertensive retinopathy: High blood pressure-related damage to the retinal blood vessels.
  • Retinal tears and holes: Small breaks in the retina due to thinning of retinal tissue.
  • Uveitis: Inflammation of the uvea, causing pain, redness, and blurred vision.

Diagnosis

Our team uses advanced diagnostic tools to identify retinal problems early. These include:

  • Slit-lamp examination: Used to inspect the anterior segment of the eye and check for signs of inflammation.
  • Indirect ophthalmoscopy: A test that involves dilating the pupils to examine the complete retina.
  • Blood tests and imaging: Additional tests to identify underlying causes like infections or autoimmune diseases.
  • Ultra wide view Fundus Photography: High-resolution images of the retina to detect abnormalities.
  • Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT): Non-invasive imaging to evaluate retinal layers.

The Importance of Early Diagnosis and Treatment

Early detection and intervention can help prevent vision loss. If you notice any visual disturbances, consult our specialists immediately for a comprehensive evaluation.
