Retinal diseases affect the retina, the light sensitive part of the eye, potentially resulting in the loss of central and peripheral vision. The most common of these diseases include macular degeneration, retinal detachment and diabetic pathologies such as diabetic retinopathy. As damage to the retina is often irreversible, early intervention is vital in order to prevent permanent vision loss.
