The retina is a thin, light-sensitive layer of nerve tissue lining the inside back wall of the eye. It converts light into electrical signals that the brain interprets as vision. Clinically, retina is used to describe both the structure itself and the focus of exams, imaging, and treatments aimed at retinal disease. It is commonly discussed in eye care visits when evaluating vision changes, diabetes-related eye findings, and age-related vision problems.
