Our commitment is to safeguard your vision, ensuring you continue to enjoy the richness of the world around you with clarity and vibrancy.
Understanding Retina Diseases
The retina, your eye's inner lining, is crucial for capturing visual images and sending them to the brain. When diseases such as Macular Degeneration and Diabetic Retinopathy affect the retina, they can significantly impair your ability to see the world clearly, affecting both central and peripheral vision. Macular Degeneration, often age-related, primarily impacts central vision, which is necessary for reading, driving, and recognizing faces. Diabetic Retinopathy, a complication of diabetes, can lead to vision loss through damage to the retina's blood vessels. Early detection and treatment are key to managing these conditions and preserving your vision.
Who is at Risk?
Individuals over the age of 50: Older individuals are at a greater risk.
People with Diabetes: Both type 1 and type 2 diabetes can lead to Diabetic Retinopathy.
Those with a Family History: Genetic factors can increase susceptibility to retinal diseases.
Lifestyle Factors: Smoking, high blood pressure, and obesity can elevate the risk of retinal conditions.
