Medical Conditions - Retinal Damage

The retina is the inner lining of the back wall of the eye, which senses the light rays and sends signals to the brain to form an image. The damage to this lining affects the vision of the eye. Old age, light, trauma, etc., might be the cause of retinal damage. Dim and distorted central vision, straight lines in vision, spots, double vision, dimming of the image, etc., are some indications for retinal damage. The damage can be repaired with the help of a laser, shrinking abnormal blood vessels, using a retinal prosthesis, injecting medicine, etc.
