The retina is the light-sensitive layer at the back of your eye 👁️
It plays a vital role in vision by capturing light and sending signals to the brain 🧠
A number of serious eye conditions begin in the retina, including retinal detachment, diabetic retinopathy, and macular degeneration ⚠️
Regular eye examinations can help detect retinal changes early, often before you notice any symptoms

For many people, it only becomes noticeable when reading small print gets harder, night driving feels more difficult, or screen use starts to cause strain.

Regular eye tests help pick up those changes early.
