H35: Other retinal disorders

The group of conditions referred to as "Other retinal disorders" concerns various health issues that directly affect the retina, which is the thin layer of tissue at the back of the eye responsible for receiving light and sending signals to brain through the optic nerve for visual recognition. Illnesses in this group can result from numerous causes such as genetic disposition, aging, diabetes, hypertension, and eye injuries. Common signs often include blurred vision, seeing floating specks or cobwebs, sudden loss of vision in one eye, eye pain, or seeing flashing lights. As these conditions progress, they can lead to complications like partial or complete vision loss. They primarily affect the visual system, and can significantly impair daily activities like reading and driving.
