Retina

The retina is a structure located at the back of the eye that is responsible for vision in the dark. It consists of many photoreceptors that convert light signals into electrical signals that are transmitted along the optic nerve to the brain.

The retina plays an important role in vision as it is one of the most sensitive tissues in the body. If the retina is damaged, a person may lose the ability to see in the dark, which is called “visual acuity.”

There are many diseases associated with the retina such as macular degeneration (AMD), retinopathy, glaucoma and others. Symptoms associated with these conditions may include blurred vision, flickering, blurred vision, colored spots
