Retinal problems

 

What Is The Retina?

The retina is a thin layer of nerve cells located at the back of the eye.

A healthy retina is essential for good vision.

When light enters the cornea and lens, retinal photoreceptor cells convert it into electrical impulses.

The optic nerve sends these impulses to the brain.

These impulses are then converted into images and visual perceptions.

How Does the Retina System Work?

The retina is made up of several important parts. A disease or problem in any of these areas can cause vision loss:

  • Macula - allows us to see detailed images clearly.
  • Fovea - an area in the centre part of the macula that affects visual clarity.
  • Peripheral Retina - enables side and night vision.
  • Photoreceptors - cells that convert light into impulses sent to the brain.

Rods give us night vision, and cones enable our color vision.
