What is a Retina?

The retina is a layer of tissue in the back of your eye that senses light and sends images to your brain. In the center of this nerve tissue is the macula. It provides the sharp, central vision needed for reading, driving and seeing fine detail.

Retinal disorders affect this vital tissue.

Symptoms

Many retinal diseases share some common signs and symptoms. These may include:

  • Seeing floating specks or cobwebs
  • Blurred or distorted (straight lines look wavy) vision
  • Defects in the side vision
  • Lost vision

You may need to try looking with each eye alone to notice these.

Risk factors

Risk factors for retinal diseases might include:

  • Ageing
  • Smoking
  • Being obese
  • Having diabetes or other diseases
  • Eye trauma
  • A family history of retinal diseases
