The retina of the eye is an important organ that helpsformation of visual images. It is a very thin ocular membrane, adjacent to one side of the vitreous body, and the other - to the choroid of the eye. The retina contains light-sensitive fibers. It focuses the rays of light
Risk groups
There are people who are predisposed to retinal diseases. They primarily include:
Angiopathy of the retina
Angiopathy is called vascular injurycirculatory system. Most often it occurs in people prone to hypertension. They have various circulatory disorders, and retinal angiopathy occurs. The reasons that gave rise to the development of the disease, can be very different. In accordance with them, several varieties of angiopathy are distinguished:
Hypertensive angiopathy
This disease is characterized by an enlargementveins and an increase in the branching of blood vessels. Often a person has a feeling of pulsation inside the eye. The ocellus is covered with dilated veins. If the disease progresses, cloudiness occurs in different areas of the retina. When you recover, it pr
Diabetic angiopathy of the retina
With the development of diabetes it is possiblethe emergence of angiopathy of vessels of two types: macroangiopathy and microangiopathy. There is damage to the walls of blood vessels. This leads to a violation of blood circulation. When the disease of large vessels, the process is called macroangiopathy, and when the capillaries are affected, it is called microangiopathy. Microangiopathy of the eye is a fairly common disease in diabetes mellitus.
Juvenile angiopathy of retinal vessels
This eye disease is characterized byinflammatory processes in the retinal vessels. As a rule, venous vessels are affected. Haemorrhage into the vitreous of the eye and its retina occurs. In some cases, the disease leads to cataracts, glaucoma, retinal detachment.
Traumatic angiopathy
The disease most often results fromconstricted injuries of the human chest. When the pressure in the blood vessels of the eye increases, they are damaged. There are hemorrhages in the retina and optic nerve.
Treatment
When retinal angiopathy occurs, it becomes difficultblood flow in the vascular system of the eye. Therefore, the patient is prescribed drugs that improve blood circulation. In the treatment of angiopathy, accompanied by diabetes mellitus, adherence to a strict diet is additionally prescribed. In addition, retinal angiopathy is treated using physico-therapeutic methods.
