TYPES OF RETINAL PROBLEMS
RETINAL TEARS
It is the discontinuity of the retina. It occurs due to a pullover retina created by shrinkage of the vitreous gel in the posterior part of the eye. The main causes are aging, pathological (very high) myopia, trauma, diabetic retinopathy, etc. Usually, the patient presents with floaters & flashes. Sight Avenue is a trusted and reputed retina care center in Delhi with the best retina eye doctors. Contact us to start your treatment.
RETINAL DETACHMENT
It is defined by the presence of fluid under the retina. It usually occurs when fluid passes through a retinal tear, causing the retina to lift away from the underlying layer. The main symptoms are loss/blurring of vision, curtain-like shadow over the visual field & loss of field of vision. Retinal detachment surgery cost in Delhi is quite affordable now and available easily at The Sight Avenue.
DIABETIC RETINOPATHY
If you have diabetes, the tiny blood vessels in the back of your eye can deteriorate & leak fluid into & under the retina. In the early stage, it may remain asymptomatic. Later, it causes the retina to swell which may blur or distort your vision. It can, in advanced stages, cause retinal detachment. You can also develop abnormal blood vessels that break & bleed. The main symptom is floaters in the early stages followed by the sudden loss of vision.
EPIRETINAL MEMBRANE
It is a delicate tissue-like membrane lying on top of the retina. This membrane pulls up on the retina which distorts your vision. It can be due to aging, an inflammatory disorder, retinal tear, etc.
MACULAR HOLE
It is a small defect in the center of the retina (macula). It may develop from abnormal traction between the retina & vitreous. The main causes are idiopathic (unknown), aging, long-standing macular edema, injury to the eye, etc. Usually, you present with gradual loss of vision.
AGE-RELATED MACULAR DEGENERATION (ARMD)
In this disease, the center of your retina begins to deteriorate which causes blurred central vision or blind spots in the center of the visual field. The main cause is increasing age.
RETINITIS PIGMENTOSA
It is a genetic progressive degenerative disease that initially affects the peripheral retina followed by central vision. Night blindness is the main complaint. It may be associated with other systemic disorders in both children and adults.
RETINOPATHY OF PREMATURITY
This potentially blinding disease is exclusively seen in premature babies with low birth weights. Screening within 30 days of birth is the best modality to avoid blindness.
UVEITIS
This condition causes swelling & inflammation in the middle layer of the eye called the Uvea. The cause is often unknown. It is sometimes associated with autoimmune disorders or viral/bacterial infections. Common symptoms of Uvea are floaters, loss of vision, severe redness in the eye, pain & light sensitivity. In advanced stages- Retinal detachment or epiretinal membrane can be found.
SYMPTOMS OF RETINAL DISORDERS
