Retinal Detachment<\/h5>\n
When the retina is lifted or pulled from its normal position it gets detached. This interferes with the reception of light by the retina. If this is not treated immediately, this could result in permanent blindness. Retinal detachments are caused by a host of conditions in the eye.<\/p>\n
Rhegmatogenous detachment \u2013 caused by retinal tears or breaks (dehiscence in the retina). Rhegmatogenous detachment is the most common type.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\nTractional detachment caused by tractional bands (due to fibrous tissue growth on the surface of retina).<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
Exudative detachment caused by injury to or inflammation in the eye (when the retina is lifted by fluid accumulation behind it)<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n<\/i><\/div>\nOver 90% of retinal detachment can be successfully treated with the good visual outcomes achieved when the patient presents early in the course of the disease.

Diabetes affects almost 40% of the general population and can affect every part of the body. Similarly it can affect every part of the eye.

This is called diabetic retinopathy. Individuals at high risk for Diabetic Retinopathy are those who have poorly controlled blood sugar values for a long time, kidney disorders, blood pressure, anaemia and high cholesterol levels.<\/p>\n
The initial stages of the disease are usually asymptomatic where the presence of Diabetic Retinopathy can only be picked up by an Ophthalmologist after a thorough examination of the eyes. It is only when the disease is very advanced that vision is affected permanently. Initial symptoms, when present, include poor vision and difficulties in reading. Advanced disease results in complete permanent loss of vision.<\/p>\n
Every individual with diabetes must have an eye check-up done at least once in a year. Early identification of disease and treatment with lasers or injections are capable of preserving vision but advanced disease results in permanent vision loss. This loss of vision in diabetic retinopathy can be easily prevented if the disease is diagnosed in its early stages.<\/p>\n
