Wet Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is a serious eye condition affecting the macula, the central part of the retina. It’s one of two types of AMD, the other being dry AMD.

Diabetic retinopathy is an eye disease that occurs due to complications in diabetes and increased blood sugar level. Complications can lead to serious vision problems such as Vitreous hemorrhage, Retinal detachment, and Glaucoma.

Retinal detachment is a serious condition where the retina, becomes separated from its underlying supportive tissue, potentially leading to permanent vision loss if not promptly treated.

A retinal hemorrhage is bleeding within the retina, often caused by diabetes, hypertension, injury, or blood disorders, and can lead to vision impairment or loss if not properly addressed.

A retinal tear is a break in the retina, often caused by the vitreous humor pulling away and tugging on the retina, which can lead to vision loss if not treated promptly, as it may progress to retinal detachment.

Retinal Vein Occlusion is a blockage of the small veins that carry blood away from the retina, leading to vision loss due to the resulting retinal hemorrhage and macular edema.

A macular pucker is scar tissue that has formed on the eye’s macula, located in the center of the eye’s light-sensitive tissue called the retina. A macular pucker can cause blurred and distorted central vision.

Intraocular melanoma is a rare but serious type of cancer that develops in the cells of the eye that produce pigment, potentially leading to vision changes and can be life-threatening if it spreads to other parts of the body.

Central Serous Chorioretinopathy is a condition where fluid accumulates under the retina, causing a fluid-filled detachment and distortion of the macula, often leading to blurred or distorted vision.

Flashers and floaters are visual phenomena where floaters appear as small, moving spots in one’s vision, often due to age-related changes in the vitreous. Flashers are perceived as flashes of light, typically indicating traction or stress on the retina.

A macular hole is a small break in the macula, the central part of the retina responsible for sharp, straight-ahead vision, often leading to blurred or distorted central vision.

Dry macular degeneration is a common, age-related condition characterized by gradual thinning and deterioration of the macula, leading to a progressive loss of central vision.
