Retinal Disorders

There are many different disorders of the retina, including Macular Degeneration (AMD), Diabetic Retinopathy and Retinal Holes or Tears. When the retina malfunctions, vision is disturbed or blurred. Symptoms may include:

• Poor vision at night (night blindness) and trouble adjusting from brightly lit areas to dim ones
• Sudden or unexplained loss of vision
• Loss of peripheral vision
• Loss of vision in a particular visual field
• Nystagmus, a rapid, involuntary oscillatory motion of the eyeball
• Photophobia, an abnormal sensitivity to or intolerance of light

Though many retinal disorders are inherited, some are caused by the adverse effects of medications or by infections.
