Your vision matters—trust Penn Medicine retina and vitreous experts

Your retinas allow you to see the world around you by converting light to electrical signals that travel to your brain. Vitreous is the gel-like fluid that fills your eyes and helps hold your retinas in place. These structures help give you clear vision, but they can be affected by a wide range of diseases, including vitreous and retinal detachment and age-related macular degeneration. When this happens, you may experience eye floaters, dark spots, and shadows in your field of vision.

Our retina and vitreous specialists have extensive training and experience treating these eye diseases and improving your vision. Through specialized eye exams and other advanced diagnostic tests, we can provide a precise diagnosis and recommend advanced treatments that may include medications, injections, and surgery. At locations near you, our aim is to restore clarity in your vision and support your long-term eye health.
