Retinal detatchment
The retina is a thin, transparent tissue of light-sensitive nerve fibers and cells. It covers the inside wall of the eye the same as wallpaper covers the walls of a room.
Retinal detachment (RD) was first recognized in the early 1700s by de Saint-Yves. Retinal detachment refers to separation of the inner layers of the retina from the underlying retinal pigment epithelium.
Uveitis
The uvea is very important because its many veins and arteries transport blood to the parts of the eye that are critical for vision. Uveitis can scar the eye or lead to blindness, therefore, if your eye is red, painful, and sensitive to light, see a doctor as soon as possible.
