Diabetic Retinopathy

The most common cause of vision loss among people who have diabetes. Vision loss is associated with chronically high blood sugar levels.

Retinitis Pigmentosa

A rare, degenerative disease that affects the retina's ability to respond to light. The disease is inherited and causes a gradual decline in vision.

Macular Degeneration

Vision loss occurs when the central portion of the retina deteriorates from a combination of hereditary and environmental reasons.

Detached Retina

Spots, floaters, and flashes of light are the warning signs of a detached retina. Vision may become blurry or poor. Another sign is seeing a shadow or a curtain descending from the top or side of the eye
