There are three basic types of retinal detachment: rhegmatogenous, tractional, and exudative. Each of these types of retinal detachment is discussed...
Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment
Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment is the most common type of retinal detachment. It occurs when a break (tear or hole) in the retina allows fluid from the vitreous humor...
Tractional Retinal Detachment
Tractional retinal detachment occurs when fibrous membranes (essentially scarring processes) in the vitreous humor and retina produce mechanical traction on the retina,...
Migraine
Migraine Headache is a common condition that frequently begins in adolescence or early adulthood. The cause of the headache is thought to begin with arteries in the...
Epiretinal Membrane
Epiretinal membrane (ERM), also known as macular pucker and cellophane retinopathy, is a condition characterized by growth of a membrane across the macula, or central...
Exudative Retinal Detachment
...
Acute Retinal Necrosis
Acute retinal necrosis (ARN) is thought to be an infectious process of the retina, typically caused by the viruses Varicella-zoster (chicken pox virus), herpes...
Branch Retinal Artery Occlusion
A branch retinal artery occlusion (BRAO) usually presents with painless and abrupt onset of peripheral vision loss, in some cases also causing central vision loss. The...
Branch Retinal Vein Occlusion
A branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) may present with decreased vision, peripheral vision loss, distortion of vision, or "blind spots." The condition is unilateral and...
Central Retinal Artery Occlusion
Central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) usually presents with sudden onset of profound unilateral, painless, visual loss. Most patients can barely count the fingers in...
