Retinal Disorders

The part of the eye that sends visual messages to the brain is known as the retina. Disorders of the retina include disease of, injury, or damage to the retina, all of which affect the quality of vision. Some retinal disorders are serious enough to cause blindness. The most common retinal disorders are retinal detachment, retinoblastoma, retinopathy, Central Retinal Artery Occlusion (CRAO), Macular Degeneration (also known as Age-related Macular Degeneration or AMD), and Retinitis Pigmentosa.

Rescue vitrectomy with blocked artery massage and bloodletting for branch retinal artery occlusion.

May 18, 2017 | Central Retinal Artery Occlusion (CRAO) | 0 Comments

Abstract: A 61-year-old male suffered from sudden blurred vision and superior visual field defect oculus dexter. His vision was counting fingers at 20 cm. Fundoscopy demonstrated inferior pale retina and a large embolus located at the proximal inferior retinal artery....

The efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in the treatment of central retinal artery occlusion.

May 14, 2017 | Central Retinal Artery Occlusion (CRAO) | 0 Comments

Abstract: Central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) is an ophthalmological emergency. Various treatment modalities have been tried, but none have shown to alter natural history of the disease. Hyperoxia can restore retinal oxygenation, and favourable results were...

Reversibility of retinal ischemia due to central retinal artery occlusion by hyperbaric oxygen.

Jan 19, 2017 | Central Retinal Artery Occlusion (CRAO) | 0 Comments

Abstract: Ischemic retinal damage can be reversed by hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) as long as irreversible infarction damage has not developed. However, the time window till irreversible damage develops is still unknown. The study aim was to evaluate the effect of...
