Retinal Disorders

Retinal Disorders

Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D.

Guest: Brittni A. Scruggs, M.D., Ph.D.

There are a variety of eye disorders which involve the retina, and they all have the potential to cause significant vision loss or blindness if not detected early. Two of the most common retinal disorders we see in primary care include diabetic retinopathy and macular degeneration. Since most health conditions affecting the retina are asymptomatic early in their course making patient screening and risk factor management an important task for primary care clinicians. Appropriate referrals to an ophthalmologist can result in effective treatment and improved outcomes. Which patients are at risk of retinal disorders? What are some “red flag” symptoms which should give us concern? Which medications we prescribe can affect the retina? This podcast is about retinal disorders, and I’ll be asking these questions and more of my guest, Dr. Brittni Scruggs, an ophthalmologist and retinal surgeon at the Mayo Clinic.
