Retinal diseases

For our eyes, the retina is what a film is for a camera. It develops the images which are passed on to our brain via the optic nerve.

The nearly 130 million sensory cells in the retina are highly sensitive: Any sort of metabolic disturbance can damage them beyond repair. Diseases often result in severe visual impairments or in some cases even the loss of sight.

Retinal disease symptoms:

  • Deterioration of central and peripheral vision
  • Perception of sudden flashes of light
  • Distorted vision
  • Swarms of black dots flying past the eye
  • A restricted field of vision
  • Perception of shadows

If you notice one or several of these symptoms, you should urgently consult your eye specialist, as these could be signs of a retinal disease.

The most common retinal diseases are listed below for your further information:
