Retinal detachment refers to a pathological state in which the neuroepithelial layer of the retina is separated from each other. In embryogenesis and histology, there is a latent gap between the retinal neuroepithelium and the pigment epithelium, and under normal conditions, through a series of physiological and biochemical mechanisms, the retinal neuroepithelium and the pigment epithelium adhere to each other, so as to ensure that the retina has normal physiological functions. After retinal detachment, the retina will be atrophied and degenerated, and the visual function will be seriously damaged due to the damage to the nutrition of photoreceptor cells.
Although retinal detachment is one of the common causes of blindness, it does not mean that you will lose your sight if you have this disease, because as long as we can achieve early detection and early standardization, we can greatly reduce the possibility of blindness.
Nowadays, there are many methods of retinal detachment, such as: fundus laser, surgical reduction and modern vitreous surgery, but their efficacy is closely related to the time of acceptance, that is, the earlier the diagnosis, the earlier the prognosis. Retinal detachment is a relatively serious blinding eye disease, but it generally occurs in the elderly, high myopia and eye trauma, and its incidence is increasing over the years, which has a lot to do with the increasing incidence of myopia in China.
According to conservative statistics, more than 50% of students with myopia on campus, coupled with the popularity of online games in recent years, patients with retinal detachment are getting younger and younger.
Experts from Schleming Eye Hospital pointed out that myopia, especially high myopia (referring to myopia over 600 degrees of myopia), often has lattice-like degeneration and cystic degeneration around the retina, and the retina is relatively thin, and there will be vitreous liquefaction, turbidity, posterior vitreous detachment, hiatus, etc. Retinal detachment can occur even if it is touched by a child's hand.
People with moderate to high myopia should minimize strenuous exercise. For example: high diving, jumping, playing football, basketball, etc., not only that, but also should be regularly done fundus examination (usually once every six months), in the "embryonic state" of the disease.
The cost is about 8,000 to 10,000, and the specific surgery depends on the surgical method and consumables, such as whether it is an internal surgery or an external surgery, and whether it is filled with silicone oil or inert gas.

Retinal detachment can be detected in time, which is very helpful, and the longer it is delayed, the worse the effect will be. If the retinal detachment does not affect the macula, vision will be restored more effectively. For surgical retinal detachment, it is necessary to choose according to the nature and scope of the retinal detachment and the size and shape of the tear, etc., to decide whether surgery can be performed and which surgical method to use.
Retinal detachment mainly relies on surgery, such as vitrecision surgery, laser surgery, etc., to repair the detached retina or retina with tears.

Causes of retinal detachment
We all know that the retina has a very important role in the human body, it is a very comprehensive part of our vision, then, there are some reasons in life that may cause retinal detachment, let's take a look at what are the causes of retinal detachment.
Causes of retinal detachment
1. High myopia
High myopia can easily lead to retinal detachment, because the eyeball will get bigger and bigger after high myopia, and with the enlargement of the eyeball, the vitreous in the eye will change, forming the liquefaction of the vitreous, so at this time, it is easy to produce a kind of traction that leads to the detachment of the retina.
2. Eye injury
Generally speaking, if the injury to the eye does not cause the rupture of the eyeball, you can choose to observe the time before surgery, which can help the surgery to remove the blood in the eye and make the detached retina reset.
3. Disease
There are some diseases that may also cause retinal detachment, such as high blood pressure or diabetes, which are relatively common diseases in life, relatively speaking, if he is more serious, or due to the improper operation of some of his usual eating habits, resulting in very serious symptoms
There are actually many reasons for retinal detachment, so if these situations occur in life, you must go to the hospital for examination in time and do relevant **, so that you can ensure that your condition is better in time.
The retina has a good nutritional state in its original anatomical position, which is the most important basis for maintaining our vision, so once the retina falls off and leaves the original anatomical position, the nutrition of the cells will be quickly affected, and irreversible changes will occur. Rapid spread, this symptom is very obvious, patients generally do not ignore this symptom, so retinal detachment will be very severe, rapid loss of the patient's vision, the visual field is severely affected.
After the operation, you should pay attention to your diet, do not eat spicy food, do not drink milk on an empty stomach, and eat more fruits and vegetables. In addition, lying on the stomach is the key to recovery, generally after the operation the doctor will instruct the patient to lie on the stomach, I used the eye support before, the recovery is not bad.
Appropriate oral administration of some neurotrophic drugs, such as vitamin B1, inosine, adenosine triphosphate, etc., is conducive to the recovery of retinal function, and should be rechecked regularly after 3 months, such as flashes of light or sparks in front of the eyes, should immediately go to the hospital to dilate the pupil to examine the fundus, in order to detect the location and degree of retinopathy early, and prevent retinal detachment from occurring again.
Cataract patients want to choose the "best" intraocular lens before surgery, and even think that the most expensive intraocular lens is the best, I am afraid that choosing the wrong lens will affect the postoperative vision, this worry is completely unnecessary. We already know that the implantation of an intraocular lens into the eyeball replaces the function of the original lens, and plays the role of focusing and imaging in the original position, so that the eye can see objects clearly. Therefore, whether it is a domestic intraocular lens or an imported intraocular lens, as long as the material used to make the intraocular lens is non-toxic, the process is excellent, and the disinfection is strict, the effect is the same after implantation in the eye. >>>More
Symptoms: Most cases have sudden onset, with decreased vision or dark shadows in front of the eyes, and many cases have had prodromal symptoms such as floaters and flashes of light. >>>More
