A retinal specialist in Melbourne is a doctor who treats diseases and conditions related to the retina (it is a light-sensitive layer of tissue, lining the inner surface of the eye). The retina is a crucial part of the eye and plays a vital role for a human to see an object.
Though all conditions related to an important part of the eye does not need the attention of a retina eye doctor. The few conditions that are treated by these specialists include:
- Retinal tear: The symptoms of this condition include flashing light and floaters. This happens when the vitreous liquid shrinks and tugs the thin layer of the tissue lining at the back of your eye.
- Retinal detachment: The condition occurs when some fluid accumulates under the retina. It usually occurs when a fluid passes through the retinal tear.
- Diabetic retinopathy: Diabetes would cause the blood vessels to leak fluid and in to and under the retina that could cause the retina to swell and distort vision.
- Macular hole: This condition affects the back part of the retina caused mainly because of abnormal traction between retina and vitreous. In a few cases, it can be a result of an injury.
- Macular degeneration: The centre of the retina, macula begins to deteriorate. It would lead to blurred vision and blind spots.
If a patient observes any of these symptoms, it is better to consult a specialist immediately.
