Retinal surgery. For conditions located at the level of the retina
VISTA VISION supports patients with various conditions located at the level of the retina through a series of interventions specific to retinal surgery, aimed at treating conditions such as:▫️ Vitreoretinal interface syndromes
Proliferative vitreoretinopathy refers to the migration and proliferation of cells in the sub retinal space, the vitreous cavity, on and under the retinal surface.
▫️ Proliferative diabetic retinopathy
This disease is a common complication of diabetes, which, if not treated properly, leads to complications that can cause vision loss in people between the ages of 20 and 65.
▫️ Vitreous hemorrhage
Vitreous hemorrhage is a condition due to the presence of blood in the vitreous as a result of the rupture of some blood vessels.
▫️Macular hole
Macular degeneration or macular hole is an ophthalmological disease resulting in the destruction of central vision.
▫️Retinal detachment
Retinal detachment is a relatively rare condition (about one in 10,000 is affected annually) that occurs when the retina is pushed or pulled from its normal position.
Retinal surgery
⏺️VITREORETINAL INTERFACE SYNDROMESProliferative vitreoretinopathy refers to the migration and proliferation of cells in the subretinal space, the retinal cavity, on and below the retinal surface.
As a result of the destruction of the physiological barrier, at the level of the vitreo-retinal interface, an intravitreal and epiretinal membrane is produced through cell migration, adhesion and proliferation, which, depending on the contractility, can cause a vitreoretinal retraction. This process is accompanied by a progressive liquefaction of the vitreous.
The onset is marked by an initial inflammatory reaction, induced among other things by the migration of phagocytes. Subsequent collagen production and cell-mediated contraction of collagen membranes leads to retinal detachment and vision loss.
️Vitreoretinal interface syndromes can be repaired through retinal surgery.
️⏺️PROLIFERATIVE DIABETIC RETINOPATHY
This disease is a common complication of diabetes, which, if not treated properly, leads to complications that can cause vision loss in people between the ages of 20 and 65.
In the early stages of diabetic retinopathy, there may be no change in the patient's vision. As the disease progresses, there are many signs that can indicate the presence of diabetic retinopathy: blurred vision, the appearance of black dots in the field of vision, double vision due to the action of the disease on the nerves that control the eye muscles, difficulty reading up close, impaired night vision, weight in the perception of colors, severe decrease in vision.

️⏺️VITREOUS HEMORRHAGE
It is a condition due to the presence of blood in the vitreous as a result of blood vessels rupturing.
The most common causes are diseases such as: diabetic retinopathy, hemoglobinopathies, congenital retinoschisis, venous occlusions, retinal breaks, trauma.
The onset of the disease is brutal, with a unilateral and painless decrease in visual acuity, until the vision blurs like a black veil over the eyes. In the case of smaller hemorrhages, the patient notices moving black dots with eye movements.
Vitreous hemorrhage can be repaired through retinal surgery.
⏺️MACULAR HOLE
Macular degeneration or macular hole is an ophthalmological disease resulting in the destruction of central vision. Damage occurs in the macula, a small area at the back of the eyeball. The macula plays a role in seeing the colors and details of objects, which are necessary for central vision. Central vision is necessary for activities such as reading, driving and recognizing people. Since macular degeneration does not also affect peripheral vision, complete blindness does not occur.
The risk of macular degeneration increases with age, starting at age 50.
There are two forms of macular degeneration. Both forms affect only one eye, but if the disease occurs in one eye, it will eventually occur in the other.
Macular degeneration, nonexudative as well as exudative form, cause vision loss and may have some symptoms in common:
▫️central vision becomes weaker, blurred or less accurate
▫️more light is needed for reading
▫️ it takes more effort to be able to see people's faces
▫️objects appear distorted and smaller than they are in reality
▫️white or black spots appear in the central visual field
▫️straight lines become wavy and curved; this is usually the first symptom encountered in the exudative form
▫️loss of central vision occurs, which does not disappear or worsens over time; this can be severe and rapid in exudative macular degeneration.
The macular hole can be repaired through retinal surgery.

Retinal surgery. Retinal detachment
⏺️Retinal detachmentIt is a relatively rare condition (about one person in 10,000 is affected annually) that occurs when the retina is pushed or pulled from its normal position. That part of the retina that is detached does not function normally, so the vision becomes blurry and hazy.
This disease can appear at any age, but it is much more common after the age of 40, affecting especially myopes.
Most frequently, retinal detachment occurs in case of: trauma, myopia, diabetic retinopathy, intraocular tumors, dystrophies of the retinal membrane.
Retinal detachment is not painful, the most common symptoms are: the perception of a curtain or wave in the field of vision, flashes of light (especially in the periphery of the field of vision), undulating (blurry) vision, the appearance of spots in the field of vision (due to floating bodies in vitreous), sudden decrease in vision.
If the disease is neglected, the danger of chronic inflammation, the appearance of cataracts, and the eye may completely lose the ability to see.
Retinal detachment can be repaired through retinal surgery.
