One and a half million people die every year from causes directly related to diabetes. Diabetes, which is one of the underlying causes of many diseases, can cause consequences such as heart attack, stroke, kidney failure and even blindness. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), one out of every 10 diabetics is visually impaired. Stating that diabetic retinopathy, which can result in blindness in the eyes, is a disease that affects both eyes, Prof. Dr. Nur Acar Göçgil emphasized the importance of early diagnosis and made evaluations about the symptoms of the disease and the treatment process.

retinal detachment

Retinal detachment is something that occurs in any part of the retina, and it is the separation of the retina from the layer below it after more retinal tears. The intraocular fluid passing through the retinal tear gradually lifts the retina. If it goes unnoticed and progresses, central vision is lost with the detachment of the retina in the yellow spot region. Surgery is required as soon as possible. If the tear is noticed before it turns into retinal detachment, it can be treated with laser. After retinal detachment develops, it is surgically treated with gas therapy, local scleral buckling, scleral cerclage or vitrectomy operations, considering the location, size, number of tears and other accompanying clinical conditions of the retinal detachment in the eye.

Where is the retina?

7 mins

The retina is derived from the Latin word “rete” meaning “net”. The retina is the innermost, light-sensitive tissue layer of the eye. The optics of the eye focuses the image of our field of vision on the retina in two dimensions. This image is processed in the retina and sent by nerve impulses along the optic nerve to the visual cortex. In the visual cortex, information from the two eyes is combined and three-dimensional vision occurs. When the light comes to the eye, it reaches the retina through the pupil opening in the middle of the iris, the lens and the vitreous cavity, and the image information focused on the retina is converted into electrochemical information and transmitted to the brain.
