RETINAL DETACHMENT

The speed and confidence your eyes need.

Retinal detachment is an eye condition caused by the mechanical separation of the neurosensory retina (inner layer of the retina) from the retinal pigment epithelium (outer layer). It is a serious vision problem that can occur at any age, although it typically affects middle-aged or older individuals. It tends to be more common in people who are nearsighted or have previously had a retinal disorder. It is very important to make a diagnosis as quickly as possible, as the chances of improvement are greater if the macula, or central area of ​​the retina, does not become detached.

May your memories not be erased with time.

Types of age-related macular degeneration

  • Dry (Atrophic) AMD: This type of macular degeneration is caused by the accumulation of drusen, yellowish deposits beneath the retina, which causes progressive retinal atrophy. It is usually asymptomatic and predisposes to acute bleeding and central retinal atrophy. It requires periodic monitoring, and it is recommended to take antioxidants, maintain a balanced diet, reduce light exposure (in some cases with blue light filters), and not smoke.
  • Wet or Bleeding AMD: The proliferation of new blood vessels that destroy central vision. The natural progression of wet AMD can cause central blindness.

Symptoms

• Sudden appearance of floaters or a sudden increase in existing floaters.
• Appearance of bright flashes.
• Vision of a shadow on one side of the visual field.
• Vision of a moving gray curtain in the middle of the field of vision.
• A sudden decrease in vision.

Your retina, in expert and safe hands.
