This document discusses different types of retinal detachment, including rhegmatogenous retinal detachment caused by tears or breaks in the retina, tractional retinal detachment caused by scar tissue pulling on the retina, and exudative retinal detachment caused by fluid collecting under the retina without tears. It also discusses uveitis, an eye inflammation affecting the middle layer of the eye wall, and its potential causes and symptoms. Treatment options mentioned include cryosurgery, electrodiathermy, scleral buckling surgery, corticosteroids, antivirals, and antibiotics.

2.  Retinal detachment is a separation of the
sensory area of retina from retinal pigment
epithelium & choroid.

3. RHEGMATOGENOUS RD (RRD) :
❖ The most common type. It happens slowly
over time.
❖ A hole/ tear/ or break in the retina occurs
which lets the vitreous gel ; the fluid from the
middle of the eye leak under the retina.

5. TRACTIONAL RD (TRD) :
❖ Happens when scar tissue or other tissue
grows on your retina and pulls it away from
the layer underneath. It can lead to
serious vision loss.
❖ This type is often found in people
with diabetes who have severe diabetic
retinopathy, or damage to blood vessels in the
retina.

7. EXUDATIVE RD (ERD) :
❖ It happens when fluid collects under your
retina, but there's no tear. It can affect
both eyes.
❖ This type of detachment is often comes from
an eye injury or as a complication of a wide
range of diseases.

8. ➢ Trauma
➢ Aging
➢ High myopia
➢ Diabetes retinopathy
➢ Uveitis
➢ Macular degeneration
➢ Tumor
➢ Aphakia after cataract surgery

9. ➢ Dark spots
➢ Photopsia (presence of perceived flashes of
light in the field of vision)
➢ Blurred vision
➢ Slight feeling of heaviness in eye
➢ Visual field loss

12. ➢ Opthalmoscopy
➢ Slit lamp examination

13. ➢ Cryosurgery (uses extreme cold produced by
liquid nitrogen or argon gas to destroy cancer
cells and abnormal tissue)
➢ Electrodiathermy
➢ Scleral bucking (Scleral buckling is a type of
eye surgery to correct a detached retina and
restore vision)

15. ➢ It’s a form of eye inflammation (uveal tissue)
➢ It affects the middle layer of tissue in the eye
wall. They include eye redness pain &
blurred vision.
➢ The condition can affect one or both eyes.
Primarily affects people aged between 20-
50, but, may also affect children.

17. Exogenous infections:
 Foreign bodies
 Penetrating injuries
 Corneal ulcer perforation
 Any post operative infection
Endogenous infections:
 Any infections in the blood
 Keratitis (an inflammation of the cornea)
 Conjunctivitis

18. ➢ Autoimmune disease
➢ Allergic uveitis
➢ Traumatic
➢ Toxic uveitis
➢ Idiopthic

19. ➢ Burning sensation
➢ Photophobia
➢ Irregular pupil
➢ Eye pain
➢ Floaters
➢ Headache

20. ➢ Fundus examination
➢ Radiology (X-Ray)

21. ➢ Corticosteroids (prednisolone,
dexamethasone, betamethasone)
➢ Anti-diabetic drug
➢ Antiviral (400 mg oral acyclovir five times
daily )
➢ Azithromycin, tetracycline, erythromycin
