The retina is the innermost layer of the eye that is sensitive to light. When we look at something, the light passes through the lens in our eyes and reaches the retina. The retina then converts the light into signals that the optic nerve carries to the brain. The brain interprets these signals as images, allowing us to see the world around us. To put it in a Harry Potter context, you can think of the retina as the platform 9 ¾, the gateway to the magical world. If something goes wrong with the retina, the signals don’t reach the brain, and our ability to see the beautiful world becomes disconnected.
Our Retina Specialists are highly skilled in diagnosing and treating a wide range of conditions related to the retina, which is the sensitive tissue at the back of the eye that helps us see. We use advanced tools and modern treatments to provide specialized care for different retina problems.
