What is Vitreo Retina?
The Retina
The retina is a light-sensitive layer of tissue lining the inside of the eye, responsible for capturing light rays and transmitting nerve impulses through the optic nerve to the brain, where visual images are formed. It plays a crucial role in vision, acting as an extension of the brain.
The Vitreous
The vitreous is a clear, gel-like substance filling the cavity between the lens and the retina, supporting the eye’s shape and protecting the retina.
Vitreo Retina Treatment
Vitreo Retina Treatment encompasses the surgical and medical management of diseases affecting the vitreous and retina. Specialists in vitreo-retinal surgery are highly trained in diagnosing and treating conditions impacting the retina, vitreous, and macula.

Sudden vision loss
Sudden loss or blurring of vision, which may result in partial or complete visual field loss
Floaters
The sudden appearance of numerous black spots or “floaters” in the field of vision
Flashes of light
