The retina is the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye that plays a crucial role in vision, while the uvea is the middle layer of the eye that includes the iris, ciliary body, and choroid. Diseases affecting the retina or uvea can lead to serious vision loss if not diagnosed and treated promptly. At Dr. Maha Eye Clinic, we provide specialized care for retinal disorders and uveitis, using advanced imaging and treatment techniques to preserve and restore sight.

Common Conditions
Retinal and uvea-related conditions we treat include:
• Diabetic retinopathy: Damage to the retinal blood vessels caused by diabetes.
• Macular degeneration: A leading cause of central vision loss, often related to aging.
• Retinal detachment or tears: An urgent condition that can lead to permanent vision loss if untreated.
• Uveitis: Inflammation of the uvea, which may be linked to autoimmune diseases, infections, or trauma.
• Retinal vein or artery occlusion: Blockage of blood flow to the retina.

Treatment Options
Treatment depends on the specific condition and severity, and may include:
• Medications such as anti-inflammatory eye drops, steroid injections, or systemic medications for uveitis.
• Laser therapy to seal retinal tears or treat abnormal blood vessels.
• Intravitreal injections for conditions like diabetic macular edema or wet macular degeneration.
• Surgery (vitrectomy) for retinal detachment or advanced retinal disease.
Regular monitoring is essential, as many retinal and uveal conditions are chronic and require ongoing management.
