New Medication for Diabetic Retinopathy Appears Promising
Dr. Ronald Glatzer is keenly aware how much we rely on our vision. The eye is one of the most important organs in the body. The retina receives information about everything you see such as colors, movements and shapes. The retina is the light sensitive tissue lining the back of the eye that is responsible for vision. It receives images somewhat like the film in a camera. The macula is the oval shaped yellow “spot” near the central part of the retina and helps with things requiring fine detail such as driving and reading. The vitreous is a transparent jelly-like substance that fills the space between the lens and the retina in the eye. Countless times a day, the eyes focus on images that are near and far and provide detailed 3-Dimensional pictures of the world and all that is around us. Retina disorders can affect the way that you process visual information and lead to distorted or absent vision. Using the very latest methods, Dr. Glatzer can diagnose and treat the full spectrum of eye and retinal disorders, including the conditions listed below.
