Retinal Disorders

The part of the eye that sends visual messages to the brain is known as the retina. Disorders of the retina include disease of, injury, or damage to the retina, all of which affect the quality of vision. Some retinal disorders are serious enough to cause blindness. The most common retinal disorders are retinal detachment, retinoblastoma, retinopathy, Central Retinal Artery Occlusion (CRAO), Macular Degeneration (also known as Age-related Macular Degeneration or AMD), and Retinitis Pigmentosa.

Adjunctive hyperbaric oxygenation in macular edema of vascular origin.

Jun 23, 2001 | Macular Degeneration | 0 Comments

Abstract: Macular edema (ME) is a primary reason for permanent decreases of visual acuity (VA) in diabetic retinopathy and retinal vein occlusions. The standard treatment (photocoagulation, rheological treatment) provide only a limited success. We have therefore...

[Hyperbaric oxygen therapy in retinal artery occlusion].

Aug 26, 2000 | Central Retinal Artery Occlusion (CRAO) | 0 Comments

Abstract: Retinal artery occlusion (RAO) is an ophthalmological emergency that causes a major decrease of visual parameters in most of the cases. Purpose of this pilot study was to evaluate the effect of adjunctive hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) on visual acuity...

Does hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) delivery rescue retinal photoreceptors in retinitis pigmentosa?

Mar 10, 2000 | Retinitis Pigmentosa | 0 Comments

Abstract: As previously reported in the literature, hyperbaric oxygen delivery seems to modify the natural course of retinitis pigmentosa. In order to evaluate these first encouraging data, 48 affected subjects were separately studied in two subgroups (cases and...
