Retinal Diseases
The retina is a light sensitive nerve layer of the eye. There are many important diseases in which the retina is affected. Some of the basic symptoms such as light flashes, diminished vision, loss of vision, fracture vision, large or small sight and objects such as fly flying indicate the presence of the problem in the retina.
Common Diseases in Retina
- Retinal Detachment (Retinal Separation)
- Bleeding, edema and detachment due to vascular diseases of the retina such as diabetes and hypertension
- Macular Hole (Yellow Point Puncture)
- Macular Wrinkle (Epiretinal Dice)
- Age-Related Macular Degeneration (Yellowhead Disease)
- Retinal Injury Due to Eye Trauma
Retinal detachment
Tearing in the retina leads to a disease called retinal detachment. If detachment is not treated, permanent loss of vision occurs.What are the symptoms?
- 50 percent of patients notice light flashes. These flashes are described as flash fires or lightning flashes.
- Flying spots in black red color are monitored.
- The black curtain, which starts from the separated retinal zone, is increasingly occupying all the gaps, and when the center of the eye is held, the patient becomes unable to see anything.
