Nethradhama Superspeciality Eye Hospital provides diagnostic and treatment of diseases of the retina, vitreous and choroid at the Vitreo Retinal (VR) Clinic.
The retina is an extension of the brain. It forms the innermost lining of the eye and contains millions of light-sensitive nerve endings (rods and cones). The light rays that enter the eye through the cornea, then pass through the pupil, lens and vitreous ultimately focus on the retina which receives the light and transmits nerve impulses through the optic nerve to the brain, where a visual image is created. Vitreous is a optically clear, gel-like substance that fills the cavity between the lens and the retina and serves vision by supporting the shape of the eye.
Commonly encountered Vitreo Retinal conditions include retinal detachment, diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration, retinal problems related to myopia, retinal vascular occlusion, ocular trauma, ocular infections, retinitis pigmentosa, AIDS and other hereditary retinal conditions |
