Retinal has three isomeric forms resulting from double-bond isomerization: all-trans retinal, 11-cis retinal, and 13-cis retinal. These isomeric forms are essential in the visual cycle and play a crucial role in the mechanism of vision.
Patients suffering from retinal detachments are commonly nearsighted, have had eye surgery, experienced ocular trauma, or have a family history of retinal detachments.
For retinal reattachments, the retina can be repaired in about 90% of cases. Early treatment almost always improves the vision of most patients with retinal detachment.
The two major RVO types are central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) and branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO).
