Retina surgery is a procedure to repair or replace damaged retinas. The retina is the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. It converts light into electrical signals that are sent to the brain via the optic nerve. Retinal damage can lead to vision loss, so retinal surgery is often necessary to preserve vision.
Retina surgery is typically suitable for individuals with a variety of retinal conditions, including:
- Retinal detachment
- Macular degeneration
- Retinal tears
- Retinal holes
- Retinal vascular occlusions
