What Is a Retinal Tear?

Retinal laceration is also known as retinal detachment, referred to as reticle. Net detachment often occurs in patients with ocular trauma and peripheral retinopathy of refractive error, especially friends with moderate and high myopia. Fundus examination often finds peripheral retinal degeneration areas, dry holes, and even horseshoe-shaped holes. If we then laser it in time, it will avoid the pain of resection.

Features

Often caused by eye trauma and refractive error

The author often finds lesions in the outpatient clinic for routine mydriatic examination of those patients with moderate to high myopia. Laser treatment of multiple patients with horseshoe-shaped holes has been done in time to avoid the possibility of retinal detachment.

Flashing in front of my eyes

We know that the retina is the innermost layer of the eyeball, and it is closely related to the vitreous body. Horseshoe-shaped holes in the retina are caused by vitreous traction. Retraction of the retina can cause the bioelectric effect of the retina. At this time, the patient feels a flash of light, so when this happens, you should go to the doctor in time, and let the specialist vitreoretinal doctor do a detailed fundus examination to find the lesion. If the laser treatment is performed in time at this time, the effect will be very good!

Fixed dark shadows in front of eyes and incomplete vision

If the patient misses this period, a fixed dark shadow or incomplete vision in front of the eyes often appears, indicating that retinal detachment has occurred. At this time, go to the hospital to find a specialist vitreoretinal doctor for detailed examination. The doctor will do the corresponding treatment according to the size of the retinal detachment range, such as laser, gas injection, external retinal reduction, and so on.

Vision loss

Some patients do nt pay much attention or feel sluggish. They only need to see a doctor when their eyesight is reduced to the index of the eyes. At this time, the examination shows that the range of retinal detachment is extensive and spreads to the macula. It is necessary to know when the retinal detachment spreads to the macula The visual hazard is very large, the longer the position is detached, the worse the visual recovery is. If this position is separated for more than 4 weeks, vision recovery will be poor, so seek medical treatment in time!

For patients suffering from ocular trauma, the patient's vision must be checked by a professional ophthalmologist after the vision has decreased, otherwise his condition will be delayed. The author once encountered a football player and went to the hospital for an examination after an eye injury. No retinal detachment was found. Although the doctor gave the patient an ultrasound of the eye, he still found no retinal detachment. Later, he treated with retinal concussion, which improved slightly. But soon the patient's vision decreased, and the dark shadow in front of the eyes expanded. After transferring to me, my dilated examination revealed that the retina had detached. We timely operated the patient and returned to normal vision.

For retinal detachment in one eye, it is routine to check the other eye in detail. Especially for patients who have undergone retinal detachment surgery, be sure to check the other eye. The author has performed external compressive surgery on a patient with retinal detachment. The patient recovered very well and his vision reached 1.0 (corrected). A conventional laser dilation examination of the other eye revealed a horseshoe-shaped hole in the peripheral retina to give a timely laser. It can be asserted that if the hole is not checked in time, the patient will not use it for a month. This eye will also have retinal detachment like the surgical eye.

Find a professional vitreoretinal ophthalmologist for regular review; avoid external forces on the eye, such as impacting the eyeball, wrestling, and doing eye movements; timely laser intervention, of course, not all those who have cracks need laser intervention. can. I used to perform peripheral laser treatment for 5 patients in the afternoon. Patients who have had retinal detachment should undergo early surgery. When the range of detachment spreads to the macular area, vision recovery is often poor!
