Anatomy of the Eye
The retina is the delicate membrane of nerve cells that line the inside of the eye. Similar to film in a camera, the retina detects light and sends signals to the brain that enable us to see.
We treat conditions that affect the retina, vitreous, and uvea of the eye, including:

  • Diabetic Retinopathy

  • Macular Degeneration

  • Retinal Detachment

  • Vascular Occlusions

  • Vitreous Hemorrhage

  • Macular Holes

  • Retinal Tears

  • Epiretinal Membranes

  • Retinopathy of Prematurity

  • Ocular Trauma

  • Chorioretinitis

  • Uveitis

  • Endophthalmitis

  • Tumors

 

Retina - The nerve layer that lines the inside of the eye and converts light into nerve signals that the brain can interpret.
Macula - The part of the retina responsible for seeing fine details such as reading or sewing.
Optic Nerve - The nerve that transmits the signals from the retina to the brain.
Vitreous - The clear, jelly-like substance that fills the center of the eye.
Lens - The lens of the eye is responsible for bending light rays to focus images on the retina.
