At Colorado Ophthalmology and CosMEDics, we offer comprehensive ophthalmology services to for residents of Snowmass Village, Lone Tree, Littleton, Aurora, and surrounding areas of Denver Colorado.
Your retina is located at the back of your eye. Although it is a thin, light-sensitive tissue, it packs a punch: it is responsible for controlling how you see images. In an ideal eye, images focus on the retina and those images are converted into electrical impulses that are transmitted through the optic nerve to the brain. It makes sense, then, that any damage to the retina will result in vision problems ranging from blurriness to spots to decreased central vision and even blindness.
