If you are experiencing any flashes of light, floaters, sudden decrease in vision, or a “curtain” in your vision, it is important to seek a prompt dilated eye exam. The sooner that a retinal detachment is addressed, the better chance of a positive visual outcome. #retinaldetachment #ophthalmology #retina https://www.instagram.com/p/CqBa_gruqlI/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Two types of retinal vein occlusions are central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) and branched retinal vein occlusion (BRVO). CRVO is when the single large vein that drains blood from the retina becomes blocked. BRVO occurs when a tributary of the central retinal vein is blocked. #crvo #brvo #retina #retinacareconsultants https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp6Ia6ds7wp/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

retinal vein occlusion is the sudden blockage of blood flow out of the eyeball, which causes macular bleeding, swelling, and loss of vision. #retinacareconsultants #opthalmology https://www.instagram.com/p/CpyQuajuXFT/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Macular pucker is a common condition that affects the central portion of the retina, known as the macula. A macular pucker occurs when a thin membrane on the surface of the retina pulls the macular layers out of position, causing blurred and distorted vision. This condition goes by several names, including a retinal wrinkle, epiretinal membrane, and cellophane maculopathy. #erm #macularpucker #retina #retinacareconsultants https://www.instagram.com/p/CpGD-_Sug4H/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Some information regarding Macular Holes published by The Foundation American Society of Retina Specialists. 👁️ #retinacareconsultants #ophthalmology https://www.instagram.com/p/CpBRH1POVjW/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

[retinacareconsultants]

A macular hole occurs when forces on the surface of the retina pull the macula apart directly in the center of the vision.  The forces that pull on the retina most commonly stem from the vitreous jelly tugging on the macula as it naturally separates from the retina with age.  Membranes on the surface of the retina may also contribute to the forces pulling the macula apart. #macularhole #retinacareconsultants #ophthalmology https://www.instagram.com/p/Co5VF2BubFa/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
