Symptoms of retinopathy, these are the most common

Retinopathy is a very serious eye disease. If you suffer from this disease, you will experience flashes in front of your eyes, fixed black shadows, and incomplete vision. Your vision will also deteriorate, so you must pay attention to eye examinations and treat the disease as soon as possible once it is discovered.

1. Flashing sensations appear in front of your eyes. The retina is the innermost layer of the eyeball and is closely connected to the vitreous body. Horseshoe-shaped retinal holes can occur due to vitreous traction. When the retina is stretched, it will cause a bioelectric effect in the retina, and the patient will feel a flashing sensation. Therefore, if this happens, you should seek medical attention immediately and ask a specialist vitreoretinal doctor to perform a detailed fundus examination to detect lesions. If laser treatment is performed in time at this time, the effect will be very good.

2. Fixed black shadows and incomplete vision in front of the eyes. If the patient misses this period, there will often be fixed black shadows or incomplete vision in front of the eyes, indicating that retinal detachment has occurred. At this time, go to the hospital to find a specialist vitreoretinal doctor for a detailed examination. The doctor will make appropriate treatments based on the extent of retinal detachment, such as laser, gas injection, external retinal reattachment, etc.

3. Pay attention to the examination of the fellow eye. If one eye has retinal detachment, it is routine to examine the other eye in detail as well. Especially for patients who have undergone retinal detachment reattachment surgery, it is important to check the other eye.

4. Some patients do not pay much attention to decreased vision or feel dulled. They only think of seeking medical attention when their vision drops to the index in front of their eyes. At this time, examination reveals that the retinal detachment is very extensive and has affected the macular area. You should know that when retinal detachment affects the macula, it is very harmful to vision. The longer the detachment time at this location, the worse the vision recovery will be after surgery.
