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.

Hyperbaric oxygenation combined with nifedipine treatment for recent-onset retinal artery occlusion.

Apr 1, 1993 | Central Retinal Artery Occlusion (CRAO) | 0 Comments

Abstract: We describe the results of early hyperbaric oxygenation combined with nifedipine treatment for central retinal artery occlusion, and explain the results pathophysiologically. We report four cases in which hyperbaric oxygenation therapy was applied in...

Correlation of electroretinographic changes with visual prognosis in central retinal artery occlusion.

Jan 1, 1993 | Central Retinal Artery Occlusion (CRAO) | 0 Comments

Abstract: Recent advances in the treatment of central retinal artery occlusion (CRAO) have resulted in a relatively good prognosis, but few studies have been reported. In the present study, electroretinography (ERG) was used to evaluate visual function recovery in 15...

Retinal artery occlusion in a diver.

Jun 1, 1992 | Central Retinal Artery Occlusion (CRAO) | 0 Comments

Abstract: The clinical manifestation of decompression disorders is highly variable, ranging from mild rashes or joint pains to central nervous system symptoms like scotomata, paralysis and death. The diagnosis is easily overlooked, especially if an occupational...
