Retinopathy Pigment

Retinopia hyperpigmentation disease of the retina. The term "retinopathy" (from the Greek retina - retina) means damage to the retina of the eye. A condition in which the lesions appear as small yellowish and brownish dots, spots or streaks. Such lesions are sometimes called microcalcifications. Some cause scarring and block light from reaching the retina. Rapid and severe visual deterioration may develop. Retinopathy is divided according to etiology into seven main groups: 1. Colloid; 2. External pigment; 3. Central burn (chorioretinitis); 4. Internal pigment; 5. Viral-allergic, 6. RETINOPATHIES ASSOCIATED WITH SYSTEMIC DISEASES, 7. Others.

The cause of a wide variety of diseases of the retina and retinal vascular membrane can be genetic predisposition, chronic diseases, and injuries. Understanding the mechanism of development allows us to determine measures of primary prevention and specific treatment and thereby minimize the risk of developing the disease.
