Retinal imaging
Detailed scans of the back of the eye
The retina is a light-sensitive layer of tissue at the back of the eye. It receives light and converts it into signals that travel to the brain, allowing us to see.
Retinal conditions can affect central vision, peripheral vision or both. Some develop gradually, while others may cause sudden changes in eyesight and require urgent medical attention.
At a glance
Symptoms vary depending on the condition. Possible warning signs include:
Important: A sudden increase in floaters, flashes of light, a curtain-like shadow or sudden vision loss requires urgent eye assessment.
An eye assessment may be needed if you notice changes in vision or have a condition that increases your risk of retinal problems, such as diabetes.
Some retinal conditions require monitoring, while others need treatment to reduce the risk of further vision loss. The appropriate approach depends on the diagnosis and how the condition affects the eye.
Do not delay seeking care for sudden changes in vision.
