Preserving your sight at the core.
Your retina – the layer of tissue in the back of your eye – is like film in a camera, sensing light and sending images to your brain. The vitreous is a clear, jelly-like substance behind the lens of your eye that supports the retina and allows light to pass through.
There are several eye conditions that affect the retina and vitreous. However, many of these can be treated when caught in their early stages. At ECU Health, our vitreoretinal specialists provide expert medical and surgical care for diseases like:
