[4] Retinal detachment is a medical emergency that requires surgery. [2] [3]
Vitreomacular traction syndrome (VTS) is a medical condition in the eye that is the result of tractional forces (pulling) being placed on the retina.

Surgically correct retinal detachment by scleral buckle or pars plana vitrectomy. [1] Prior to surgery, oral or topical anti glaucoma drugs may be used to reduce IOP. [1] After surgical correction of the retinal detachment, the condition resolves, aqueous cells disappear and IOP normalizes. [3] The condition is not responsive to corticosteroid ...
Diabetic retinopathy (also known as diabetic eye disease) is a medical condition in which damage occurs to the retina due to diabetes.It is a leading cause of blindness in developed countries and one of the lead causes of sight loss in the world, even though there are many new therapies and improved treatments for helping people live with diabetes.
