A layer of underlying supporting tissue contains blood vessels that supply the photoreceptors with the food and oxygen they need to stay healthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The retina functions as the line of communication between our eyes and the world around us by sending visual messages through the optic nerve to the brain. A healthy, intact retina is crucial for clear vision.

This is the most common form of retinal detachment.<\/li><li><strong>Tractional \u2013<\/strong>&nbsp;Scar tissue on the retina\u2019s surface contracts, causing it to separate from the RPE.<\/li><li><strong>Exudative \u2013&nbsp;<\/strong>Fluid leaks into the area underneath the retina.

Tears are treated by sealing the retina to the back wall of the eye using these surgical treatments:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Freezing treatment (cryopexy):&nbsp;<\/strong>In this procedure, your eye surgeon uses a probe to freeze the retina around the tear. The scar helps secure the retina to the eye wall.<\/li><li><strong>Laser surgery (photocoagulation): <\/strong>In this procedure, your ophthalmologist uses a laser to make small burns around the tear, creating scars. This seals the retina to the underlying tissue and helps prevent future detachment.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If your retina has detached, you will also need to have surgery to reattach it in its proper position. Otherwise, you could go blind. There are three surgical methods:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Pneumatic Retinopexy \u2013&nbsp;<\/strong>In this procedure, a gas bubble is injected into the eye, pushing the tear back against the eye wall.&nbsp;Subsequently, your ophthalmologist will ask you to maintain a certain head position for several days.<\/li><li><strong>Scleral buckle \u2013&nbsp;<\/strong>In this procedure, a flexible band is placed around the eye to counteract the force pulling the retina out of place. Your doctor will drain the fluid underneath, allowing the retina to settle back into its normal position.<\/li><li><strong>Vitrectomy \u2013&nbsp;<\/strong>In this procedure, the vitreous gel is removed from the eye to prevent pulling. It is replaced with a gas or oil bubble to keep the retina in place until your body\u2019s own fluids can fill the space. A gas bubble will go away on its own while an oil bubble must be surgically removed.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Following surgery, your vision may take months to improve and may not ever fully return. In some cases, the retina cannot be reattached and the eye will continue to lose sight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-vivid-red-color\"><strong>How quickly should a Detached Retina be treated?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your&nbsp;retina&nbsp;has&nbsp;detached, you will&nbsp;need&nbsp;surgery to repair it preferably within days of a diagnosis. The type of surgery your surgeon recommends will depend on several factors, including how severe the&nbsp;detachment&nbsp;is.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need to know more about retinal detachment, contact Vision Express today to make an appointment.<br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The retina is the light-sensitive tissue lining the back of the inside of the eye.
