retinal tear

In the 1960's, they collaborated to find a means to close retinal tears using material sewn to the exterior of the eye.

The complications risk is high with retinal tears, penetrating injuries and severe blunt trauma.

Early examination allows detection of retinal tears which can be treated with laser or cryotherapy.

Degenerative changes caused by severe nearsightedness (high myopia), such as retinal tears.

Symptomatic retinal tears should be treated by laser to prevent retinal detachment.

Although a PVD occurs commonly, there are no retinal tears associated with the condition most of the time.

Therapy is not required or indicated in posterior vitreous detachment, unless there are associated retinal tears, which need to be repaired.

Treatment for retinal tears and detachments is often done by an eye doctor who specializes in retinal detachments.

Complications can include retinal detachment, retinal tears, endophthalmitis, and postoperative cataract formation.

Retinal tears are closed by Laser treatment or cryotherapy, and detached retinas are reattached surgically.

Retinal detachments are usually caused by retinal tears, and a scleral buckle can be used to close the retinal break.

Some had cataract operations, according to billing records, and others had laser surgery for ailments listed as glaucoma and retinal tears.

Vitreous hemorrhage - bleeding in the eye from injuries, retinal tears, subarachnoidal bleedings (as Terson syndrome), or blocked blood vessels.

Risk factors for retinal detachment include severe myopia, retinal tears, trauma, family history, as well as complications from cataract surgery.

Gloves may reduce the amount of eye injuries, especially if they are thumbless, but retinal tears and detached retinas still occur to boxers wearing modern gloves.

It is frequently combined with other intraocular procedures for the treatment of giant retinal tears, tractional retinal detachments, and posterior vitreous detachments [4].

Injuries have ranged from corneal abrasions, chemical burns and minor hemorrhages that temporarily impair vision to retinal tears and detachments that can lead to permanent visual loss.

Prompt examination of patients experiencing vitreous floaters combined with expeditious treatment of any retinal tears has been suggested as the most effective means of preventing certain types of retinal detachments.

Silicone oils have been used as a vitreous fluid substitute to treat difficult cases of retinal detachment, such as those complicated with proliferative vitreoretinopathy, giant retinal tears, and penetrating ocular trauma.

These included cataracts, or clouding of the eye's lens, and retinal tears, or rips of the membrane at the back of the eye that predispose a person to retinal detachment causing sudden blindness.

In absence of retinal tears, the usual progress is that the vitreous will continue to age and liquefy and floaters will usually become less and less noticeable, and eventually most symptoms will completely disappear.

The risk of retinal tears and detachment associated with vitreous detachment is higher in patients with myopic retinal degeneration, lattice degeneration, and a familial or personal history of previous retinal tears/detachment.

The presence of retinal tears with new onset of floaters was surprisingly high (14%; 95% confidence interval, 12%-16%) as reported in a metaanalysis published as part of the Rational Clinical Examination Series in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

Yoga has been criticized for being potentially dangerous and being a cause for a range of serious medical conditions including thoracic outlet syndrome, degenerative arthritis of the cervical spine, spinal stenosis, retinal tears, damage to the common fibular nerve, so called "Yoga foot drop," etc.

Patients with retinal tears may experience floaters if red blood cells are released from leaky blood vessels, and those with a posterior uveitis or vitritis, as in toxoplasmosis, may experience multiple floaters and decreased vision due to the accumulation of white blood cells in the vitreous humour.
