| What are vitreo-retinal diseases? |
The retina is an extension of the brain.  It forms the interior lining of the eye and contains millions of light-sensitive nerve endings (rods and cones). The light rays that enter the eye though the cornea, then pass through the pupil, lens and vitreous ultimately focus on the retina which receives the light and transmits nerve impulses through the optic nerve to the brain, where a visual image is created.

Vitreous is a clear, gel-like substance that fills the cavity between the lens and the retina and serves vision by supporting the shape of the eye.
A large variety of conditions can affect the vitreous and retina that lie on the back part of the eye that is not readily visible, such as diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, retinal detachments or tears, macular holes, retinopathy of prematurity, retinoblastoma, uveitis, eye cancer, flashes and floaters and retinitis pigmentosa. Diseases of retina can affect any age.
