The retina is a light sensitive film situated at the back of the eye, and it can become detached from the eye due to a tear. Fluid infiltrates behind the retina, causing a patient’s vision to become impaired.
With ...
... the occurrence of a retinal detachment, immediate disruption is caused to a person’s daily routine, affecting family, social and work commitments due to impaired vision. This extremely stressful situation can be resolved by the early and professional diagnoses, by a retina surgeon, to determine the damage caused and proceed with immediate medical intervention.
It is usual for retinal detachments to occur as part of a natural human ageing process; however, some patients are higher risk factors than others are. Short sighted individuals, patients who have had cataract surgery previously, or patients who have suffered from severe eye injuries in the past, are at greater risk to contract retinal detachments. The chances of it being a congenital disease, is very slim.
It is imperative to consult with an ophthalmologist who specialises in surgical and medical retina procedures, who will be able to consult, diagnose and fix the problem in a professional manner.
Treatment for retinal detachment involves surgery, with the main aim being to seal tears and reattach the retina. The two most popular methods used in retinal detachment repair surgery in highly acclaimed London eye clinics are vitrectomy, scleral buckle or a combination both procedures. Retinal detachment surgery can be performed under local anaesthetic or general anaesthetic.
Micro incisional vitrectomy surgery entails the removalof the vitreous gel from the inside of the eye, responsible for the retinal tear. The retina surgeon seals the tear by using laser technology or a freezing probe. This creates a scar around the tear. The retina is supported by an insertion of a gas or silicone oil bubble, while healing back to its original state. A gas bubble slowly disintegrates, whereas a silicone oil bubble willbe removed by means of a small procedure. These bubbles cause blurry vision initially, but that is a normal occurance.
The scleral buckle procedure entails the sealing of the retinal holes with the support of stitching silicone or sponge to the outer wall of the eye, which acts as a splint, and causing a dent in the eye, pushing the outer wall of the eye up to the hole in the retina. The buckle cannot be seen on the outside and stays intact permanently.
Post-operative care is of the utmost importance to ensure a complete and successful recovery. Part of the success of the retina repair is posturing. The surgeon expects the patient to posture for 7 days post-op, for 45 minutes of every hour. By placing the head in a certain position, it allows the gas or oil bubble to float into an ideal position to fully support the retina. The retina surgeon will advise on the most suited posturing related to the specific surgery.
The greatest benefit of having this operation is the prevention of total blindness in the affected eyes. Although there are risks attached to any surgical procedure, the success rate for this procedure is over 90%. Every patient has unique challenges and some retinal detachments are harder to treat than others are. Sometimes patients may need multiple surgeries.The ophthalmologist in a professional will explain the risks, benefits, and sensitive way before consent is requested for surgery.
