| Vitreo Retina |
The retina is the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye, comparable to a film in a camera, which perceives the image and transmits the signals to the brain through the optic nerve. The vitreous is the clear jelly that fills the cavity of the eye. The vitreous and the retina can be affected by multiple age-related, systemic (diabetes, hypertension), genetic and trauma-induced disorders.

Premature babies can be affected by retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). Diabetes and hypertension can cause changes in the blood vessels of the eye causing fluid leakage and intraocular bleeding. Hereditary and age-related degenerations can affect the central retina (macula) leading to loss of fine vision and color vision. High myopia, uncontrolled diabetes and trauma can cause separation of the retina from its normal position, a condition called retinal detachment.
