Is there anybody here who has detected to have retinal holes? Eye-specialists plz answer my question...?

Question

I've in born myopic eyes.I was detected with retinal hole in left eye, a few weeks back 'n my doc advised to seal it by a minor laser-surgery(diode laser). Yesterday, sealing has been done 'n everything has gone well. Plz lemme know if I've any further risk or not. Can it coz retinal detachment or it does prevent it?

Of late, I'm seeing a dot-like spot(left eye) ... now after sealing (bandage has been removed) I've expected that I won't see that dot anymore, but surprisingly I'm seeing it still.

Eye-specialists or patients with similar problems plz share ur views & experiences. Any kind of help is appreciated.

Answer 1

I don't know what exactly do you mean by "retinal hole" ,i know about some conditions which is related to it: "retinal tear" or"perforation". as Nontraumatic rhegmatogenous retinal detachment occurs in approximately 1 in 10,000 people per year and Myopia is a major risk factor for it. I think you maybe experienced it. as i've seen till now patients with the most common cause of retinal detachment, rhegmatogenous detachment following spontaneous PVD, usually complain of an increasing number of floaters in one eye. The floaters may look like a cobweb, or like one particularly large floater that appears to move in and out of central vision. The large floater is sometimes described as "a large housefly."These symptoms are usually associated with acute PVD and result from the sudden separation of the vitreous gel from the surface of the retina.
The rate of progression of retinal detachment varies depending upon the size of the retinal break, location of the break, and movements of the eye. Large horseshoe retinal tears or giant retinal tears that have persistent vitreoretinal traction will usually allow a retinal detachment to progress over the period of hours to days. In contrast, small horseshoe retinal tears or operculated holes often result in more slowly progressive retinal detachment that can take one to four weeks to develop.
Patients who have a full thickness symptomatic operculated retinal hole or horseshoe retinal tear, but no retinal detachment, clearly benefit from laser retinopexy or cryoretinopexy. These patients are advised that their risk of developing a retinal detachment is around 30 percent and that treatment reduces this risk to less than 1 percent. Since the risks of laser treatments or cryoretinopexy are minimal, the risk/benefit ratio strongly favors treating symptomatic retinal breaks prophylactically.
Once either treatment is completed it takes approximately two weeks for the body to form its maximal amount of chorioretinal adhesion. Patients are usually advised to minimize eye movement (such as with reading) during this period. Sitting on a couch and watching TV is actually quite effective in minimizing head and eye movement.
In the absence of definitive data, I feel that the most important aspect of prevention is education of the patient about the symptoms of retinal tear or retinal detachment. Early identification of retinal tears and rapid treatment of this problem usually results in the prevention of a retinal detachment and significant loss of vision.Future studies are investigating pharmacologic methods to prevent photoreceptor apoptosis and degeneration that results after retinal detachments.
Patients with a retinal hole or tear in the presence of a symptomatic PVD should generally be treated by an ophthalmologist with laser photocoagulation or cryoretinopexy to prevent retinal detachment .
at the end I'm a medical student and I'm not an Eye-specialist. so please ask your doctor for further information and also for the grade of you retinal tear. he/she can help you more.

Answer 2

Well, Are you seeing a retinal specialist for this? Or just an ophthalmologist? Ask about having a retinopexy done. If you are seeing dots, you definitely need to call your dr asap.

Hi! my firend its geting well for one day but you should do that its 1 is don't eat hot I mean its like chilli,capsicum,cayenne,pimiento. and eat more chamgur [uyghur vegetable] radish and turnip and liver of sheep and ride bike for treaning if you can doing that for more than two years your myopic will be change more for good that is my real experriness.
