Retina Specialists is a group of Ophthalmologists with special expertise in the diagnosis and treatment of retinal disorders. We are able to perform state-of-the art diagnostic testing with digital angiography, ocular coherence tomography and electrophysiological testing of the retina. We offer a comprehensive retinal service, including practitioners who are highly experienced in the management of macular degeneration.
In addition to our special interest in retinal disease, we also provide a general ophthalmology service and are able to manage the full range of eye disorders.
What is Ophthalmology?
Ophthalmology is the branch of specialist medicine that is focused on the health of eyes and their surrounding tissues, including muscles, bones, eyelids, and tear production/drainage systems. Your eye is the organ of vision and consists of the cornea (the outer clear layer), the sclera (the white of the eye), the iris (the coloured part), the lens (lies behind the iris) and the retina (the light-sensitive lining at the back of the eye). Your eyes ‘see’ by focusing light that enters the eye onto the retina which sends the image to the brain by the optic nerve.
