Diagnosis of Retinal Detachment

Retinal Detachment can be diagnosed as follows:

• Measure the patient's vision to see if it is down or normal.
• Measure intraocular pressure
• Unchanged intraocular pressure indicates that the patient has just had the disease
• If the pressure in the eye is much lower or softer than in the other eye, the patient has been suffering from this disease for a long time.
• Examine the entire retina to check for
• Torn size
• Torn place
• Whether it has a hidden image capture area or not
• There is more or less water in the veins of the eyes.

Retinal Detachment is not incurable. There are a number of ways that patients can avoid this disease

Treatment of Retinal Detachment

If a patient sees a black spot flying or seeing lightning at night, the patient should immediately see an ophthalmologist for examination and treatment. Retinal Detachment can be cured if the patient is treated in time. If it is just a tear or a hole, it means that in the early stages, the treatment is done by spraying radiation around the hole to prevent it from the torn. If the cavity is waterlogged, it is a true Retinal Detachment. Treatment is performed surgically depending on the size of the site. With a restraining beam to prevent torn again.

After the surgery, the patient will be monitored for about three weeks, depending on the vision, and will be instructed to rest face down.

Consequences of Retinal Detachment

Retinal Detachment is a serious disease that can lead to complete loss of vision if left untreated. On the other hand, treatment may not be effective if the size of the torn is large and prolonged.
