Retinal Disorders: Current Practices in Ophthalmology (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781646466696)

Retinal disorders are problems that affect the retina which is a layer at the back of the eye that helps us see. These issues can happen due to aging, genetics, diabetes or injuries. Common retinal disorders include things like macular degeneration (when central vision gets blurry), diabetic retinopathy (damage from diabetes) and retinal detachment (when the retina pulls away from its normal position). Symptoms can include blurry or distorted vision, seeing spots or flashes of light. Treatment depends on the specific disorder. It could involve medicines, laser treatments, injections or surgery to fix the retina. Early diagnosis is crucial to prevent vision loss. This book is a compilation of chapters that discuss the most vital concepts in the field of retinal disorders. The various sub-fields of ophthalmology along with technological progress that have future implications are glanced at in this book. For all those who are interested in ophthalmology, this book can prove to be an essential guide.
