Retinal conditions

Good to know

• The retina has no pain receptors: damage may go unnoticed, hence the importance of fundus examinations and OCT.
• Flashes of light, sudden onset of many floaters or “threads”, a veil or black curtain: seek urgent care.
• Many retinal diseases respond better to treatment when detected early: regular screening if you have diabetes, high myopia or are over 50.
