Introduction
The retina is an essential part of the human eye that plays a
critical role in our ability to see. Located at the back of the eye, it
converts light into neural signals, which are then transmitted to
the brain. However, various retina diseases can disrupt this
process and significantly impair vision. In this presentation, we
delve into the world of retina diseases, exploring their causes,
risk factors, and treatments.
