Retina Treatment
Retina Treatment
The retina is the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye that plays a crucial role in vision. It captures light signals and sends them to the brain, allowing us to see. Retina treatment focuses on diagnosing and managing conditions that affect this delicate tissue, which, if untreated, can lead to vision loss or blindness.
