Retinal Diseases

Protect Your Vision

A healthy, intact retina is key to clear vision. Unfortunately, many people suffer from retinal diseases and don’t even realize it. Our ophthalmologists at Rock Hill Eye Center will examine your eyes and watch for any signs of these problems.

What Is the Retina?

The retina is the light-sensitive tissue that lines the back of the eyes. Light rays are focused on the retina through the cornea, pupil, and lens. The retina converts the light rays into impulses that travel through the optic nerve to our brain, where they are interpreted as the images we see.

Common Retinal Diseases

Just because retinal diseases are common doesn’t mean they aren’t damaging to your eyesight. Our ophthalmologists will evaluate your eye health along with your overall physical well-being as they diagnose and monitor these conditions.

Please allow 24-48 business hours to be contacted regarding your appointment request. We look forward to seeing you soon.

* If this is a medical emergency, please call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.
