Retinal surgery for detached retina

Retinal surgery is performed to treat detached retina or retinal tear. Retina is a light sensitive layer of nerve tissues at the back of the eye. Retina focuses the light entering into the eye, converts the light into electric signals and then sends them to the brain through optic nerve. When the retina pulls away from its underlying tissue at the back of the eye, such condition is called retinal detachment. Detached retina is a medical emergency that requires immediate retinal surgery otherwise the person with detached retina might lose vision permanently.

The types of retinal detachment

• Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment: - It is a break, tear or hole in the retina.
• Secondary retinal detachment: - This is a serious retinal detachment in which the fluid builds up under the retina due to inflammation, blood vessel problems, or injury. There is no hole, break, or tear.
• Tractional retinal detachment: -This is when an injury, inflammation, or the formation of new blood vessels causes the fibrovascular tissue to pull the sensory retina from the retinal pigment epithelium.
