Orange County, California Ophthalmologists

Your Retina Is Essential For Sight

The retina is the part of the eye responsible for interpreting light and sending those signals to your brain. This makes it an essential part of your eyesight. The retina can easily be damaged by aging, conditions like diabetes, or more urgent issues such as tears that can occur from physical accidents. In general, retinal conditions are often painless. It may be easy to feel as though you can write off a small change in your vision because it’s more annoying than painful, but you should reach out to our Orange County retina doctor immediately. Delaying diagnosis and treatment can lead to permanent changes in your vision that might include blurriness, floaters, and in extreme cases, blindness. Orange County has an aging population with a high prevalence of diabetes while also keeping an active lifestyle meaning that your eyes are extremely at risk. If you ever notice a change in vision, you should reach out to our board certified ophthalmologists at Retina Associates of Orange County for help immediately.
