Studies on developing retinal vessels. II. Influence of retinal detachment on oxygen vaso-obliteration.
BY direct observation, it was recently shown that the obliterative action of high concentrations of oxygen on the ingrowing vessels of the kitten retina may be prevented by retinal detachment (Ashton and Cook, 1954). The obliterated vessels re-open as soon as detachment begins, indicating that close apposition between retina and choroid is necessary for the obliterative phenomenon to operate. S...
متن کاملStudies on developing retinal vessels. IV. Effect of ionizing radiation.
THE EFFECT of hyperoxia on the vasculature of the immature retina is now well established, and it has been repeatedly demonstrated that when a newlyborn kitten is subjected to an ambient oxygen concentration exceeding approximately 35 per cent. a total and permanent vaso-obliteration will develop within a period of 8 to 36 hours (Ashton, Ward, and Serpell, 1954). This observation has provided t...
متن کاملOUTPATIENT RETINAL DETACHMENT SURGERY: A PRELIMINARY REPORT
Retinal detachment surgery has been considered an inpatient hospital procedure requiring preoperative and postoperative hospitalization. In this pilot study, outpatient retinal detachment surgery was performed on sixteen patients and the results (100% success rate after an average follow-up of 8.3 months) were comparable or better than reported overall success rates for retinal detachment ...
متن کاملMyopia-aphakia. I. Prevalence of retinal detachment.
Retinal detachment after cataract extraction occurred in nine out of 136 eyes with myopia of 6 or more dioptress (6-7 per cent), during a follow-up period of 1 1/2-9 1/2 years. Five of the nine detachments occurred within 3 months of cataract extraction. All patients with retinal detachment were under the age of 63 years. Relatively young patients with high myopia bear a special risk of develop...
متن کاملRetinal Detachment
Most retinal detachments are preceded by a posterior vitreous detachment (PVD), which causes traction on the retina and, potentially, a retinal tear. The liquefied vitreous can then seep under the retina, causing it to detach. Retinal detachments may initially be localised, but without treatment they may progress and lead to irreversible vision loss. Early recognition and prompt referral are th...
