Retinal detachment

You must have heard this term a lot in recent years, because many people have suffered retinal detachment due to looking at computers or mobile phones for a long time. Due to the pressure of life and work, some people need to face the computer for a long time. Some people are obsessed with novels or games on their mobile phones. This is very bad for the use of the eyes because the eyes are also fragile.

In the case of retinal detachment, the patient will generally experience temporary blindness, which can be recovered quickly after treatment and conditioning. However, you must pay attention to your living habits. Bad behavior is harming your body.

Basic Overview

Retinal detachment is a pathological change in which the inner retinal hole layer and the retinal pigment epithelium are separated. Retinal detachment is divided into partial and complete types according to the extent, and into primary and secondary types according to the cause. Retinal detachment is the separation between the retinal neuroepithelium and the pigment epithelium.

Retinal detachment is divided into primary retinal detachment and secondary retinal detachment. Primary retinal detachment is a common clinical disease. The male patients are more than the female patients at a ratio of about 3:2. Most of them are adults over 30 years old. It is rare in children under 10 years old. There is a difference between the left and right eyes. The incidence rate of both eyes is about 15% of the total number of patients. It often occurs in myopia, especially high myopia.

Patients with the most common early symptoms of retinal detachment will first feel a moving black shadow in front of their eyes. If symptoms such as flying spots or flashes occur, do not rub your eyes and do not engage in strenuous exercise. Do not use eye drops casually. If your vision deteriorates, you should go to a professional ophthalmology hospital for examination as soon as possible, because if the retina is detached for more than 7 days, even with surgery, it will not be possible to restore your previous vision.

Causes of symptoms

This disease is more common in middle-aged or elderly people, most of whom have myopia, and both eyes can be affected one after the other. The causes of the disease include lattice and cystic degeneration of the peripheral retina, vitreous liquefaction degeneration and retinal adhesion. These causes are related to age, heredity, trauma and other factors. The traction of the vitreous on the retina is more important in the pathogenesis. Nowadays, the number of young patients is increasing, and there are even elementary school students under the age of ten among the patients. The cause of the disease is mostly trauma or excessive use of the eyes.

The above is some information about retinal detachment, I hope it can arouse everyone's vigilance. Eyes are our only channel to see the outside world. If there is any problem with your eyes, you will not be able to see the color of the world. So everyone must pay attention to their eyes and take good care of them.
