Flashes of light and floaters are classic symptoms of retinal detachment and warrant urgent evaluation.

Proliferative diabetic retinopathy involves abnormal blood vessel growth in the retina and can lead to vision loss.

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) provides high-resolution images of the retina and is essential for diagnosing macular degeneration.

Sudden vision loss with floaters is a key sign of vitreous hemorrhage, often related to diabetic eye disease or trauma.

The macula is responsible for central vision, color perception, and fine detail necessary for tasks like reading.

Anti-VEGF injections inhibit abnormal blood vessel growth in wet AMD and help preserve vision.
