The reti­na, a lay­er of neur­al tis­sue that lines the back sur­face of the eye, func­tions like the film in a cam­era. To pro­duce a clear pic­ture, the film must be defect-free. Sim­i­lar­ly, for you to see clear­ly, your reti­na must be free of any prob­lems. Unfor­tu­nate­ly, many of us do not know we have reti­nal prob­lems until they impair our vision. The good news is that a dilat­ed eye exam per­formed by a reti­nal spe­cial­ist can iden­ti­fy these prob­lems ear­ly, treat if nec­es­sary and pre­vent irre­versible blindness.
