Diseases of the eyes (ophthalmology)

Detachment (detachment) of the retina

Retinal detachment - separation of the layer of rods and cones (neuroepithelium) from pigment epithelium of the retina, which is caused by the accumulation of subretinal fluid between them. Detachment of the retina is accompanied by a disruption in the nutrition of the outer layers of the retina, leading to rapid loss of vision.

Thrombosis of the central vein of the retina

With thrombosis of the central trunk of the central vein, as well as with thrombosis and embolism of the central artery, vision suddenly falls in the affected eye.

Acute obstruction of the central artery of the retina

Blockage of the main trunk of the central retinal artery by an embolus, a thrombus or a sharp spasm of it is clinically accompanied by a sudden blindness of the corresponding eye.

Retinopathy of prematurity

Retinopathy of prematurity, or vasoproliferative retinopathy (formerly called retrolental fibroplasia) is a retinal disease of deeply premature babies who have not fully developed a vascular network (vascularization) of the retina at the time of birth.

Retinitis: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Retinitis - inflammatory diseases of the retina. Infectious and inflammatory diseases of the retina are rarely isolated: they usually serve as a manifestation of a systemic disease.

Central serous chorioretinopathy: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Central serous chorioretinopathy is a disease manifested by a serous detachment of the neuroepithelium of the retina and / or pigment epithelium.

Eales disease: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Illza disease (juvenile angiopathy) is a heterogeneous disease that can be attributed to both vascular and inflammatory (perivasculitis, vasculitis, periphlebitis).

Retinopathy

Retinopathy is a group of non-inflammatory diseases that lead to retinal damage. The main reasons for the development of retinopathy are vascular disorders, leading to a violation of blood circulation in the vessels of the retina.

Macular dystrophy of Besta

Vitally modified macular degeneration of Besta. Best's disease is a rarely observed bilateral dystrophy of the retina in the macular area, which looks like a round yellowish focus, similar to a fresh egg yolk, with a diameter of 0.3 to 3 diameters of the optic nerve disk.

Stargardt's disease

Stargardt's disease (yellow-spotted fundus, yellow-spotted dystrophy) is the macular degeneration of the retina, which begins in the pigment epithelium and manifests itself as a bilateral decrease in visual acuity at the age of 10-20 years.
