Study Summary
This study offers evaluation and treatment for patients with certain diseases of the retina (the layer of light-sensitive tissue that lines the inside of the eyeball). The protocol is not designed to test new treatments; rather, patients will receive the current standard of care for his or her specific condition. The purpose of the study is twofold: 1) to allow National Eye Institute physicians to increase their knowledge of retinal eye diseases and identify possible new avenues of research in this area; and 2) to establish a pool of patients who may be eligible for new studies as they are developed. (Participants in this protocol will not be required to join a new study; the decision will be voluntary.) Patients with diabetic retinopathy, age-related macular degeneration, vascular occlusive disease, central serous retinopathy or another retinal disease may be eligible for this study. Candidates will be screened with a medical history, brief physical examination, thorough eye examination and blood test. The eye examination includes measurements of eye pressure and visual acuity (ability to see the vision chart), examination of the pupils and eye movements, and dilation of the pupils to examine the lens and retina. Patients will also undergo fundus photography and fluorescein angiography, as follows: * Fundus photography - Special photographs of the inside of the eye to help evaluate the status of the retina and evaluate changes that may occur in the future. From 2 to 20 pictures may be taken, depending on the eye condition. The camera flashes a bright light into the eye for each picture. * Fluorescein angiography - Procedure to evaluate the eye's blood vessels. A yellow dye injected into an arm vein travels to the blood vessels in the eyes. Pictures of the retina are taken using a camera that flashes a blue light into the eye. The pictures show if any dye has leaked from the vessels into the retina, indicating possible blood vessel abnormality. Participants will
