Vitreoretinális

Vitreoretinális refers to the relationship between the vitreous humor and the retina of the eye. The vitreous humor is the gel-like substance that fills the space behind the lens and in front of the retina. The retina is the light-sensitive tissue lining the back of the eye. A healthy vitreoretinális interface is crucial for clear vision.

Conditions affecting this interface can lead to significant visual impairment. For instance, vitreoretinopathy describes a group of disorders characterized by abnormalities in the vitreous and retina. These can include issues like vitreous detachment, where the vitreous gel pulls away from the retina, which in some cases can cause retinal tears or detachment.

Another important aspect is the vitreoretinális surgery. This is a specialized branch of ophthalmology that deals with surgical procedures involving both the vitreous and the retina. Surgeons performing these complex operations aim to treat conditions such as retinal detachment, macular holes, proliferative diabetic retinopathy, and severe eye trauma. The goal is to restore or preserve vision by addressing pathological changes within the vitreoretinális complex. Understanding the interconnectedness of the vitreous and retina is fundamental to diagnosing and managing a wide range of ophthalmic diseases.
