Retinal Disorders
What are Retinal Disorders
Retinal disorders are a group of conditions that affect the retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye responsible for processing visual information. These disorders can impact your vision in various ways, from mild visual disturbances to severe vision loss.
