Retinal Detachment
Department of Retinal Detachment
Retinal detachment describes an emergency situation in which a thin layer of tissue (the retina) at the back of the eye pulls away from its normal position.
Warning signs of retinal detachment may include one or all of the following: reduced vision and the sudden appearance of floaters and flashes of light. Contacting an eye specialist (ophthalmologist) right away can help save your vision.
Before
Pre-Procedure Tests:
1.Ophthalmoscopy: Visual examination of the retina using an ophthalmoscope.
2.Ultrasound: Uses sound waves to create images of the eye’s interior, helpful in assessing retinal detachment.
3.Visual Field Test: Assesses peripheral vision, often affected by retinal detachment.
4.Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT): Provides detailed images of retinal layers and detachment extent.
Types
1.Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment: Caused by a tear or hole in the retina, allowing fluid to accumulate.
2.Tractional Retinal Detachment: Result of scar tissue pulling the retina away from the underlying tissue.
3.Exudative (Serous) Retinal Detachment: Accumulation of fluid beneath the retina without a tear.
Treatment
We Organize Surgery to re-attach the retina or fix a retinal tear may involve:
- removing and replacing the jelly inside your eye (vitrectomy)
- attaching a small band around your eye to push the wall of your eye and retina closer together (scleral buckling)
- injecting a bubble of gas into your eye to push the retina against the back of your eye (pneumatic retinopexy)
- sealing the tear in your retina with laser or freezing treatment (cryotherapy)
It’s usually done with local anaesthetic, so you’re awake but your eye is numbed.
You do not normally need to stay in hospital overnight.
You may be asked to lie or sit in a particular position for up to 7 days after the surgery. This is so that your retina is in the correct position to help it heal.
