  2. Posterior vitreous detachment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posterior_vitreous_detachment

    The risk of retinal detachment is the greatest in the first 6 weeks following a vitreous detachment, but can occur over 3 months after the event.. The risk of retinal tears and detachment associated with vitreous detachment is higher in patients with myopic retinal degeneration, lattice degeneration, and a familial or personal history of previous retinal tears/detachment.

  3. Retinal detachment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retinal_detachment

    [6] [9] [10] This is the most common type of retinal detachment. [6] Tractional retinal detachment occurs when scar tissue on the retina exerts a pulling force, leading to detachment. [6] [10] This is occurs in the absence of retinal tears or breaks and is most commonly associated with abnormal blood vessel growth due to proliferative diabetic ...

  5. Vitreous hemorrhage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitreous_hemorrhage

    A tear in the retina can allow fluids from the eye to leak in behind the retina, which causes retinal detachment. When this occurs, blood from the retinal blood vessels can bleed into the vitreous. [4] Retinal tear accounts for 11.4–44% of vitreous hemorrhage cases. [1]

  6. Eye surgery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_surgery

    Laser photocoagulation, or photocoagulation therapy, is the use of a laser to seal a retinal tear. [21] Pneumatic retinopexy; Retinal cryopexy, or retinal cryotherapy, is a procedure that uses intense cold to induce a chorioretinal scar and to destroy retinal or choroidal tissue. [24] Macular hole repair; Partial lamellar sclerouvectomy [25]

  7. Proliferative vitreoretinopathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proliferative_vitreo...

    Proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) is a disease that develops as a complication of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.PVR occurs in about 8–10% of patients undergoing primary retinal detachment surgery and prevents the successful surgical repair of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment.

  8. Vitreomacular adhesion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitreomacular_adhesion

    The pulling forces or traction from this adhesion on the retinal surface can sometimes cause edema within the retina, damage to retinal blood vessels causing bleeding, or damage to the optic nerve causing disruption in the nerve signals sent to the brain for visual processing. It is important to note that while the VMA itself is not dangerous ...

  9. Valsalva retinopathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valsalva_retinopathy

    Valsalva retinopathy is a form of sub-retinal, sub-hyaloid or sub-internal limiting membrane hemorrhage occur due to rupture of retinal vessels caused by a strenuous physical activity. [1]
