The most common type of retinal detachment is called a “rhegmatogenous retinal detachment” and, by definition, is cause by a retinal tear or hole in the retina.
Macular hole is also known as “idiopathic” macular hole, that is, science has yet to determine the actual cause of the hole. Macular holes occur perfectly normal eyes.
An ERM is a thin membrane which covers the surface of the macula. The membrane can cause the underlying macular tissue to wrinkle or “pucker” causing blurry vision and/or distortion.
Macular degeneration (also called age-related macular degeneration or ARMD) is a disease that affects about 11 million adults in the United States. ARMD is also the leading cause of blindness in the world.
Diabetic Retinopathy is one of the leading causes of blindness in the developed world and affects almost every patient with diabetes to varying degrees.
A posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) is a natural event, yet is a common cause of retinal tears. A PVD will happen to everyone as we age and onset is usually sudden.
