In macular degeneration, the center of your retina begins to deteriorate. This causes symptoms such as blurred central vision or a blind spot in the center of the visual field. There are two types — wet macular degeneration and dry macular degeneration. Many people will first have the dry form, which can progress to the wet form in one or both eyes.

If you have diabetes, the tiny blood vessels (capillaries) in the back of your eye can deteriorate and leak fluid into and under the retina. This causes the retina to swell, which may blur or distort your vision. Or you may develop new, abnormal capillaries that break and bleed. This also worsens your vision.

Floaters are usually visible when looking at something plain, such as a blank wall or a blue sky.

To treat conditions such as diabetic eye disease, AMD, and retinal vein occlusion, "intravitreal" injections deliver medication directly into your eyeball.

Peripheral vision loss is a common symptom among people with retinal detachment. It usually starts gradually, during the course of several days or weeks, even before retinal detachment is fully established. However, reduced side vision is not exclusive of retinal detachment given that other ocular diseases or injuries can cause it. For instance, glaucoma, retinitis pigmentosa, optic neuritis, and strokes can also cause peripheral vision loss.

Without adequate blood flow to the retina, vision will be compromised. RVO (retinal vein occlusion) can cause serious vision problems.​​​​​​​

A macular hole is a small defect in the center of the retina at the back of your eye (macula). The hole may develop from abnormal traction between the retina and the vitreous, or it may follow an injury to the eye.

Sometimes retinal holes and tears have no symptoms. However, the sudden appearance of many floaters and flashes (“spots before your eyes”) may indicate a hole or tear.

A retinal tear occurs when the clear, gel-like substance in the center of your eye (vitreous) shrinks and tugs on the thin layer of tissue lining the back of your eye (retina) with enough traction to cause a break in the tissue. It’s often accompanied by the sudden onset of symptoms such as floaters and flashing lights.
