Other Retinal Disorders

A spontaneous serous detachment of the neurosensory retina in the macular region.

Retinitis pigmentosa is a group of genetic diseases that causes retinal degeneration and severe visual impairment.

Medications like plaquenil and chloroquine can induce degenerative changes in the ganglion cells and photoreceptor cells of the retina.

Macular pucker occurs when a contracting epiretinal membrane distorts the underlying retina.

Degenerative drusen also called familial or dominant drusen is an asymptomatic, bilateral, symmetric, yellow-white nodular thickening of the retinal pigment epithelium basement membrane.

A macular hole is a defect of the foveal retina involving its full thickness from the internal limiting membrane (ILM) to the outer segment of the photoreceptor layer.

Exudative senile macular degeneration or wet age-related macular degeneration is an aggressive condition that affects the macula region of the retina resulting in central vision loss.

Nonexudative senile macular degeneration or dry macular degeneration is a condition that affects the macula region of the retina resulting in central vision loss.

Hypertensive retinopathy is damage to the retina from high blood pressure.

A branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) occurs when one of the branches of the central retinal vein carrying blood away from the retina becomes occluded.
