Retinal Angiopathy Hypotonic

Retinin angiopathy is a vascular disease of the retina in which pathological changes appear in the walls of blood vessels. With angiopathy of the retinal vessels, ruptures in the choroid and subretinal hemorrhages occur, and the stability of the arterial and venous beds decreases.

Angiopathy of the hypotension type is more common in young and elderly patients

Hypotonic retinitis is a group of various pathological changes in the retina and its vascular system, which are characterized by increased intraocular pressure and decreased fluid outflow. This pathology is common among people suffering from hypertension, as well as in patients with glaucoma and other diseases that affect the functioning of blood vessels and the outflow system of intraocular fluid.

If symptoms of hypotonic retinitis appear, you should consult an ophthalmologist who will prescribe the necessary treatment. Treatment should be aimed at reducing intraocular pressure, improving blood circulation and metabolic processes in the retina. One of the most effective ways to treat hypotonic angiopathy is the use of special drops and medications that reduce pressure inside the eyes. If you have the first signs of hypotension, you should seek advice from specialists. Infants are strictly prohibited from watching TV and using gadgets before visiting a doctor. Control of diabetes mellitus and increased attention to the retina help prevent the development of the disease in a child.

Retinal hypotony is a chronic disorder of cerebral circulation that causes damage to the retina without its rupture or detachment. The disease is one of the most common eye diseases in old age. Ophthalmologists regard it as one of the precursors of circulatory failure in the brain and is extremely rarely diagnosed as an independent disease. Some cases of hemorrhage occur without retinal hypotony or retinal coronary complications. As a result of complications of this disease, neuroretinitis develops, in which nerve fibers die. With a long course, optic nerve atrophy is noted - a disease that ends in irreversible deterioration of vision, and atrophy of the nerve cells of the cerebral cortex.

With retinal hypotension, the patient may not experience any signs of visual impairment. Complaints appear as chronic fundus hypotension progresses. This can happen several months, and sometimes more than six months after the start of the development of the underlying disease. Vision deteriorates gradually, the process can only be noticed periodically, constantly looking at the same object. Thus, the patient lives until there are obvious signs of impaired functioning of the organ of vision - a significant deterioration in visibility; upon examination by an ophthalmologist, the presence of retinal damage is revealed. It is possible to diagnose pathology if you pay attention to changes in the field of visibility. In order to treat retinal pathology, it is necessary to promptly begin therapy for the underlying disease and prevent its progression. Treatment is aimed at eliminating the causes of vascular hypotension. With timely diagnosis of this condition, it is possible to achieve stabilization of health and the longest possible preservation of visual functions.

The main cause of hypotension is insufficiency of the vascular system, diagnosed by the size of all vessels in the eye chamber. Spasms of all ophthalmic veins, the pressure in them is much higher, the vessels in the chamber in the direction from the eye disk to the temple stretch and narrow. Without treatment, this can lead to vascular disorders in the optic disc area and periphlebitis.
