What is RETINOPATHY?

Retinopathy is a medical condition that affects the retina, which is the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. It is mainly linked with diabetes and occurs when elevated blood sugar levels damage the delicate blood vessels in the retina, leading to vision impairment or even blindness if left untreated. Apart from diabetes, other causes include hypertension and certain medical conditions. Early detection is crucial, as symptoms may not be apparent in the initial stages. Regular eye exams play an important role in identifying retinopathy and allowing patients for timely treatment to preserve vision. Managing underlying health conditions and adopting a healthy lifestyle are key preventive measures.

Common Retinal Diseases

The sensitive structure of the retina is exposed to various diseases that can significantly impact eyesight. Following are some of the most common retinal diseases:

Diabetic Retinopathy

It is the leading cause of vision loss in diabetic people, and this disease results from damage to blood vessels in the retina. Regular eye exams are essential for early detection and intervention.

Retinal Detachment

It is a serious condition where the retina pulls away from its normal position, often causing a sudden onset of floaters, flashes of light, or a curtain-like shadow in the visual field. Immediate medical attention is crucial to prevent permanent vision loss.

Macular Hole

It is characterized by a small break in the macula, which is the central part of the retina responsible for detailed vision. Surgical procedures can repair the hole and improve vision outcomes.

Retinal Tear

It is typically a result of aging, trauma, or other retinal diseases. Retinal tear requires prompt medical intervention to prevent progression to retinal detachment.

Retinal Vein Occlusion

It occurs when a vein carrying blood from the retina is blocked, and this condition can lead to vision loss. Management involves addressing underlying vascular issues and minimizing risk factors.
Regular eye check-ups, lifestyle adjustments, and prompt medical attention are integral to managing these retinal diseases and preserving long-term visual health.

Causes of Retinal Disease
