The Importance of a Retina Specialist
The retina is a light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye responsible for converting light into electrical signals that the brain interprets as vision. The macula is the central portion of the retina responsible for sharp, central vision. The vitreous is the jelly-like substance that fills the center of the eye. Diseases of the retina, macula, and vitreous can significantly impact vision and require specialized care from a fellowship-trained retina specialist.
