Retina and Vitreous Diseases:
Our Doctors Can Help You Manage Them

As the name suggests, genetic eye conditions result from abnormalities in an individual’s genes. They are often inherited from parents and can affect various parts of the eye. Some of them can lead to vision impairment or even blindness. A few notable examples are retinitis pigmentosa and glaucoma.

Cataracts are a common eye problem in which the eye’s natural lens becomes clouded. It usually develops with age, but other factors can also cause it. Depending on the severity, it can result in partial to total vision impairment as the clouded lenses obstruct the passage of light to the retina.

Dry eye syndrome is quite common. It is characterized by the insufficient production of tears, leading to discomfort and potential vision problems. Tears keep your eyes moist and wash away dust, reducing the risk of eye infection. Its symptoms include eye dryness and redness, sometimes accompanied by a burning or itching sensation. In other cases, they lead to sensitivity to light and even blurred vision.
