Ablasi Retina
Understanding
Retinal detachment is a condition of retinal detachment from the underlying support tissue. This retinal detachment will lead to impaired retinal function.
If abnormal retinal detachment is not treated, the greater your risk for experiencing permanent loss of vision in the affected eye.
Symptoms
Retinal detachment does not cause pain. However, signs and symptoms almost always appear before the disease occurs or enter the advanced level.
Signs that indicate that you are experiencing retinal ablation, include:
Emerging black spots floating in the field of vision
A flash of light appeared on one or both eyes
Blurred vision
There was a kind of curtain that covered part of the eye
Complications
The most severe conditions that can be experienced by patients with retinal detachment are loss of vision or blindness.
Cause
The main causes of retinal detachment are:
The shriveled Vitreus. This vitamin is a clear viscous fluid that fills the inside of the eye
Diabetes
Injury or inflammation
The risk of retinal ablation will increase if you:
Aged over 50 years
Never had a previous retinal detachment
Has a family member with retinal detachment
Suffering from nearsightedness (myopia)
Ever had an eye injury
Have had other eye diseases or inflammation
Diagnosis
The diagnosis of retinal detachment is determined by interviews and multiple examinations. The doctor will examine the inside of the eye with a device called an ophthalmoscope. This ophthalmoscope will provide a detailed picture, allowing doctors to see retinal holes, tears, and so on.
In addition, there are also ultrasound imaging examinations. The doctor may use this test in case of bleeding in the eye.
Treatment
If the retina is torn but has not been released, then retinal detachment can be prevented by the action of laser light. The use of lasers can create a burning effect on the retinal tear, so that scars and torn retinas may be attached to the underlying tissue.
In rare cases, when the laser can not be used, it can be cryoped instead. Cryopection is the act of administering a cold temperature with an ice needle to attach the retina to the underlying tissue.
Meanwhile, if the retina is released then the patient needs surgery. Some of these types of surgery are:
- Scleral buckling
Sewing of silicone rubber on the outside of white eyes (sclera). This silicone rubber will make the retina stick again in the eye wall
- Vitrektomil
Surgery to remove the vitreous from the inside of the eyeball.
- Pneumatic retinopeksi
Injection of gas into the eye, so that bubbles form which will then close the tear ducts. The bubbles will be absorbed and allow the retina to tear to cling back.
