Retinal degeneration
Retinal degeneration. Ophthalmoscope view of the retina of a patients eye, showing disciform macular degeneration (yellow patch). The macula is the part of the retina responsible for the sharpest vision. The condition is most common in the elderly, where it is caused by changes to the blood vessels supplying the retina. This leads to a lack of oxygen reaching the macula, damaging the tissue and disturbing the central part of the visual field. It may also be caused by an injury to the eye. If the condition is diagnosed early, laser surgery may halt its progression, but if left untreated, central vision can be permanently destroyed

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the devastating effects of retinal degeneration on a patient's eye. Through an ophthalmoscope view, we are presented with a close-up look at the retina, specifically highlighting disciform macular degeneration as a prominent yellow patch. The macula, responsible for our sharpest vision, becomes the primary target in this condition that predominantly affects older individuals. The underlying cause lies in changes to the blood vessels supplying the retina. As these vessels undergo alterations, oxygen supply to the macula diminishes significantly, leading to tissue damage and disruption of central visual field perception. It is worth noting that ocular injuries can also contribute to this disorder. Early diagnosis plays a crucial role in managing retinal degeneration effectively. Laser surgery can be employed as an intervention method to halt its progression if detected promptly. However, if left untreated or undiagnosed for too long, irreversible destruction of central vision may occur. This photograph not only provides valuable insights into this medical condition but also serves as a reminder of how vital regular eye check-ups and timely interventions are for maintaining good eyesight throughout life. Science Photo Library continues its commitment to capturing such impactful images that bridge medicine and visual artistry seamlessly.
