Retinal detachment symptoms may vary based on where the detachment is located. For instance, if the portion of the retina that contains themaculabecomes detached, central vision loss occurs. The macula, located in the center of the retina, helps you see objects in front of you in sharp, clea...
2002;109:146-56) looked at postponing surgery for more than one week (range, one day to six weeks) in 94 cases of macula-off detachments. The investigators found that the best results were achieved within 10 days of the detachment and younger patients fared better. The vision at 11 days...

Within a few hours of retinal detachment, the long and elaborate sheet-like and villous processes that normally ensheath the outer segments are lost and replaced by a “fringe” of shortmicrovilli(Fig. 29.1).13At the same time, the overall surface morphology of the RPE cells changes into a...
It is characterized by choroidal neovascularization (CNV) resulting in retinal detachment, photoreceptor degeneration and vision loss10. Patients affected by nAMD may also develop retinal atrophy after a few years from the beginning of the pathology11. The vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), ...
Reattachment of the retina with recovery of ambulatory vision was achieved in 2 of 3 operated eyes. In these young patients predetachment vision was poor and retinal detachment or other sight threatening pathology uniformly bilateral. Vitreo- J. G. F. DOWLER ET AI.. retinal surgery in ...
The neovascularizations will turn into a fibrovascular scar, if uncontrolled, and subsequent retinal detachment can occur. Sign in to download full-size image Fig. 4.6. New vessels on the disc in the left eye of a 45-year-old diabetic patient with proliferative diabetic retinopathy. The ...
The duration of macular detachment was not of prognostic value up to 30 days' duration. Visual recovery after retinal reattachment was most dependent on macular involvement. Duration of macular detachment had surprisingly little influence on postoperative visual acuity. 展开 ...
Retinal detachment (RD) occurs in several major retinal conditions and often causes irreversible vision loss due to photoreceptor cell death. Retinal residential microglial cells are activated following RD and participate in photoreceptor cell death via
How this effects the processing of visual information and ultimately visual recovery, is unknown. It has been known for many years that detachment has an effect on Müller cells. Their hypertrophy within the retina and growth into SRS has been well-documented; the effects of their proliferation ...
