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.
