Retinal Tears and Detachments in New York
|
|
The retina can be likened to film in a camera. It is the light sensitive structure that lines the back of the eye. The part directly in the back of the eye is the macular region. Because of the structure of the macula and the cells that are there, the macula supplies sharp vision and also provides most of the color information being sent back to our brains.
The rest of the retina supplies a lower resolution image that gives us the wide field of view we ordinarily have. This side vision is very important in functioning in the modern world. The retina is not connected to the back of the eye in a firm way. Under some circumstances the retina can pull away from the back of the eye. Since the retina gets much of its oxygen and nutrition from the tissue in the back of the eye, this can lead to significant harm to vision.
DIAGNOSTIC TESTING
The principle way doctors at VRM diagnose a retinal detachment is through direct examination of the eye. This can help identify which of the three types of causes for retinal detachment is the problem. Additional testing is required to evaluate this initial hypothesis. Ultrasound is used to evaluate the position of the retina and to look at deeper structures in the eye.
Optical coherence tomography provides cross-sectional information about the retina and choroid. Fluorescein angiography is very helpful in grading the amount of leakage in exudative detachments. As in other fields of medicine diagnostic testing helps establish the diagnosis, the mechanism of disease, serves to document disease severity, and helps in monitoring disease progression.
