Common Retinal Conditions
Several retinal conditions can affect vision. Key examples include:
- Age-Related Macular Degeneration: The most common cause of blindness in adults over age 65.
- Retinal Detachment: Occurs when the retina separates from the supporting tissue beneath it.
- Diabetic Retinopathy: Diabetes increases the risk of this eye disease, which can lead to vision loss or blindness.
- Flashes and Floaters: Common visual symptoms that nearly everyone experiences at some point.
