Recurrent Macular Detachment Due to Occult Retinal Break in a Patient With Optic Disc Pit
Ophthalmic Surgery, Lasers & Imaging Retina
|May 13, 2017
Abstract:
Serous macular detachment occurs in nearly 50% of eyes with optic disc pit. These macular detachments have been historically difficult to treat. The authors report a case of macular retinal detachment due to an occult juxtapapillary retinal break in a patient with optic disc pit refractory to prior treatments. This case demonstrates that a presumed serous detachment associated with an optic disc pit may have a rhegmatogenous etiology. [Ophthalmic Surg Lasers Imaging Retina. 2017;48:432-434.].

The eye is a spherical, hollow structure composed of three tissue layers. The outer layer — the fibrous tunic, comprises the sclera — a white structure — and the cornea, which is transparent. The sclera encompasses some of the ocular surface, most of which is not visible. However, the 'white of the eye' is distinctively visible in humans compared to other species. The cornea, a clear covering at the front of the eye, enables light penetration. The eye's middle...

At the molecular level, visual signals trigger transformations in photopigment molecules, resulting in changes in the photoreceptor cell's membrane potential. The photon's energy level is denoted by its wavelength, with each specific wavelength of visible light associated with a distinct color. The spectral range of visible light, classified as electromagnetic radiation, spans from 380 to 720 nm. Electromagnetic radiation wavelengths exceeding 720 nm fall under the infrared category,...
