Retina is the most delicate eye tissue. It is formed by neurones that send the visual information to the brain through the optic nerve.
Vitreous humour is a gelatinous and transparent substance that is located inside the eye globus. The alterations of both retina and vitreous are multiple and the symptoms are different but all of them are usually characterized by eyesight reduction to a greater or lesser extent.
The eyegroung exploration is essential in order to appreciate the retinal state. It is done under mydriasis (dilatation of the pupil) and the only health professional who can do it is the ophthalmologist. Only ophthalmological check ups can guarantee ocular and retinal health. Retinal lesions are serious problems that may reduce eyesight permanently. The solutions of these problems may require medical, laser or surgical treatment depending on the cases. Floaters (myodesopia) macular degeneration, retinal detachment, uveitis, etc. are some retinal and vitreous alterations.
