Retina, Uvea & Neuro-ophthalmology
The retina, uvea, and neuro-ophthalmology specialties focus on diagnosing and managing complex eye conditions. The retina handles light reception and image formation, with disorders like diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, and retinal detachment requiring advanced care. The uvea, comprising the iris, ciliary body, and choroid, can develop inflammatory conditions (uveitis) affecting vision. Neuro-ophthalmology bridges neurology and ophthalmology, addressing visual disturbances caused by neurological diseases, such as optic neuritis or cranial nerve palsies. These subspecialties emphasize early detection, medical and surgical interventions, and multidisciplinary care to preserve vision and manage systemic impacts effectively.
