Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a progressive eye condition that affects the macula, the central part of the retina, leading to loss of central vision. It is a leading cause of vision impairment in older adults, with two forms: dry AMD, characterized by thinning of the macula, and wet AMD, involving abnormal blood vessel growth.

Retinal detachments occur when the retina separates from the underlying tissue, often due to fluid accumulation, and can lead to permanent vision loss if not treated promptly. Retinal tears, which can precede detachments, and floaters, caused by tiny clumps of gel or cells inside the vitreous, are common symptoms that warrant immediate medical attention to prevent serious complications.

Diabetic retinopathy is a diabetes-related eye condition caused by damage to the blood vessels in the retina, leading to vision impairment or blindness if untreated. It progresses through stages, from mild non-proliferative changes to severe proliferative retinopathy, where abnormal blood vessel growth can cause bleeding and retinal scarring.
