Retina Detachment Treatment In Ghatkopar

Eye is made up of Iris, Pupil, Cornea and Retina. The retina is an extremely thin tissue that lines the inside of the back of the eye. It is the light-sensitive portion of the eye. Light from the objects we are looking at, enters the eye. Cornea and the eye lens focus the light image onto the retina. Human eye works like a camera, light striking the retina causes a complex biochemical change within certain layers of the retina and this, in turn, stimulates an electrical response within other layers of the retina.

These electric signals are transmitted by the nerve endings to the brain through optic nerve, which connects the eye to the brain. Within specific areas of the brain, this electrical energy isreceived andprocessedtoallow usboth tosee andtounderstandwhatweareseeing.

  2. RetinalDetachment • Retinaldetachmentoccurswhen theretinabecomesseparated from the nervetissuesand blood supply underneath it. While painless, visually this has a clouding effect that has been likenedto agraycurtainmovingacrossthefield ofvision. • There are 3 types of detachment: rhegmatogenous (which involves a retinal break), traction, and serous (exudative) detachment. Traction and serous retinal detachments do not involve abreakandarecallednonrhegmatogenous. • Rhegmatogenousdetachmentisthemostcommontypeand caused bya tearor holein theretina.Riskfactorsincludethefollowing: • Myopia • Previous cataractsurgery • Oculartrauma • Latticeretinal degeneration • Afamilyhistoryofretinaldetachment • Tractionretinal detachmentcan becaused byvitreoretinaltractiondue topreretinalfibrous membranesasmayoccur in proliferativediabeticor sicklecellretinopathy. • Serousdetachmentresultsfromtransudationof fluidinto thesubretinalspace.Causes • includesevereuveitis,especiallyinVogt-Koyanagi-Haradadisease,choroidal hemangiomas,andprimaryormetastaticchoroidalcancers(seeCancersAffectingthe Retina). • Symptoms • Apersonwith adetachedretina mayexperiencea numberofsymptoms. • Theseinclude: • Photopsia,or sudden,brief flashesoflightoutside thecentralpartoftheirvision,or peripheralvision.The flashesaremorelikelyto occur whentheeyemoves. • Asignificantincreaseinthe numberoffloaters,thebits ofdebrisintheeyethat makeussee thingsfloatinginfrontofus,usuallylikelittlestringsoftransparentbubblesorrodsthat followourfield ofvision asoureyesturn.Theymayseewhatlookslike aring ofhairsor floatersontheperipheralside ofthevision. • A heavyfeelingintheeye

The surgeon may then use a laser or cryopexy to seal the retinal tears or holes. The eye is then filled with a gas bubble to hold theretinainplacewhileitheals. • Pneumaticretinopexy- Inthisoffice-based procedure,agasbubbleisinjected intothe eye • and the patient maintains a specific head posture to position the gas bubble over the retinal tear. The tear itself is sealed either with a freezing treatment at the time of the procedure, or withlaser aftertheretinaisre-attached. • Lasersurgery- Incertaincases,aretinaldetachmentcanbewalled offwith laserto preventtheretinaldetachmentfromspreading.
