Overview
What are retinal disorders? Retinal disorders are conditions that affect the retina, the thin light-sensitive tissue at the back of your eye. The retina senses light and sends signals to your brain so you can see. Retinal disorders can cause blurred or distorted vision. Some can lead to vision loss or blindness.
