summary

Retinal detachment is not uncommon in our life. On the Internet, we often see some news reports: retinal detachment caused by someone riding a roller coaster, retinal detachment caused by someone playing with a mobile phone in the dark... Today, let me share with you what to do with retinal detachment?.

How does retina fall off to do?

First, serious blindness can lead to retinal detachment, which is a kind of highly blinding eye disease. In recent years, retinal detachment is on the rise in young patients, especially high myopia. President Liu Dongjing pointed out that if the early treatment of retinal detachment is not timely, there may be the risk of blindness. After retinal detachment, the patient's vision will decline. In severe cases, it can lead to loss of vision, and even atrophy of the eyeball.

Second, retinal detachment must be treated urgently. "Retinal detachment has only two outcomes: either cured or blind forever. The difference between the two lies in the treatment time." Professor Liu Dongjing, one of the few experts who can independently complete the vitrectomy in Sichuan Province and director of Chengdu Purui ophthalmology department, said that the blindness caused by retinal detachment is an irreversible disease, but if the operation can be carried out in time, the visual function can still partially recover to the level before the onset of the disease. Therefore, the earlier the retinal detachment is treated, the greater the chance that the vision will be saved.

Third: how to treat retinal detachment? According to the degree of retinal detachment, retinal detachment surgery can be divided into external laser photocoagulation and internal vitrectomy combined with silicone oil (or gas) tamponade. Internal vitrectomy requires highly technical level of doctors. It is reported that there are no more than 20 doctors who can independently complete vitrectomy in Sichuan.

matters needing attention

The indications of minimally invasive vitrectomy range from common vitreous hemorrhage, diabetic retinopathy and various macular diseases to the treatment of floater disease, severe proliferative vitreoretinopathy, severe proliferative diabetic retinopathy and severe ocular trauma. This technique has the advantages of shorter operation time, better visual quality and faster postoperative recovery, and has become a "sharp tool" in the treatment of conventional fundus diseases.
