Retinal detachment

Fundus retinal detachment Retinal detachment is a more serious and common blinding eye disease. The retina is a semi-transparent film in the eye and an important tissue for sensing external light information. It is located at the bottom of the eyeball and has a very fine network structure and rich metabolic and physiological functions. The retina is divided into ten layers, of which there are nine neuroepithelial layers, which are the photosensitive layers of the eye. The pigment epithelium layer is outside the neuroepithelial layer. There is a potential gap between the two layers. Retinal detachment is the separation of the retinal neuroepithelial layer from the pigment epithelial layer. After the retinal detachment, the choroidal blood supply is not available, and the pigment epithelium is easy to dissipate and atrophy. If the recovery is not determined in time, vision will not be easily restored. Retinal detachment is more common in people aged 40-70, and most have high myopia. In recent years, young people suffer from retinal detachment.
