The retina is the thin layer in the inner eye, the area through which images are transferred from the eye to the brain via the optic nerve.
The Ophthalmology Department’s Retina Unit at Shaare Zedek treats all types of retina-related problems, including problems connected to diabetes, macular degeneration, retinal detachment and Epiretinal Membrane (ERM). The unit houses advanced equipment that enables precise and accurate diagnosis and comprehensive examination of all parts of the eye.
Preliminary Examination
To diagnose the state of the retina, we expand the pupil so we can observe everything happening beyond the front of the eye. The expansion substance causes blurriness for a few hours so you should take that into account when coming for the initial examination.
