=

separatio retinae
A condition
Retinal Detachment
Classification based on pathogenesis :
Rhegmatogenous RD
Break/tear in the retina (degeneration/
trauma)
fluid from the vitreus
cavity enters
sub-retina
retina
detached
Nonrhegmatogenous RD
Process behind retina (tumor/
inflammation)
subretinal fluid
retina detached
Tractional RD
Fibrosis in vitreus (bleeding/inflammation)

Juvenile
DR.
Mature onset DM (age > 40 yrs) : onset

Good metabolic control will delay the
onset of DR
Main cause of new blindness in the US
Diabetic Retinopathy
Signs :
microaneurysm
retinal hemorrhage
hard exudate
soft exudate
retinal edema

Abnormalities)
venous beading

toward
the hypertension
hypertensive signs may disappear;
sclerotic signs persist
papil edema, focal constriction quickly
disappear
hemorrhage, soft exudate disappear within
several weeks-months
hard exudate disappear within 4-6 months or
more
Retinitis Pigmentosa
A hereditary
disease in which a
pigmentary degeneration of the retina
occurs
Characteristically there is a progressive
degeneration of the photoreceptors and
RPE
most severe if X-linked recessive, least
severe if autosomal dominant
