You Won't Notice It Until It's Gone! The Silent Power of Your Retina

The Retina: An Overlooked Vital Component of Vision

The retina and vitreous are the unsung heroes of your vision. These delicate inner structures of the eye translate light into the images your brain understands. They're responsible for sharpness, color, motion—everything that makes vision feel effortless.

Early Signs of Retinal and Vitreous Damage Are Often Subtle

When they're damaged, the signs are subtle. A few floaters. A flicker in your peripheral. A faint blur that wasn't there yesterday.

Common Retinal Conditions and Their Risks

  • Retinal detachment

  • Diabetic retinopathy

  • Age-related macular degeneration (AMD)

These conditions progress quietly and rapidly. If left untreated, they can cause irreversible vision loss.
