Can we say that this disease dose’nt have any treatment?

No, that doesn’t mean it at all. This disease results in many complications that are treatable. And most patients suffer from these complications, not the underlying disease. The most important thing is to prevent these complications from occurring and if any complications do occur, they should be treated immediately. This can save the patient a lot of trouble and prevent him from becoming completely blind.

Vitamin A and certain medications are sure to slow down the rate at which the membrane deteriorates.
In the same way, if the relationship between the two parents is taken care of when the genetic defect is not present in the marriage, then the chances of this disease appearing in the children are very low.
If cataract has developed, it should be treated properly and consistently.
If white cataract develops, it should be treated in time.

Patients should not take up a profession that involves too much work, otherwise one of the major disadvantages would be that they would continue to feel inferior and deprived, which could lead to mental illness.
Patients with this disease should avoid such places because there is a risk of accident because in addition to the general damage of the accident, there is also a greater risk because their eyelids are already weak; If their veil of vision is torn off, it will be impossible for them to recover.

Have I heard that any modern cure for this has been discovered? is that correct?

The encouraging fact is that more and more research is being done on the treatment of this disease.

A very important treatment is likely to emerge in the near future. This is a method of transplanting photoreceptors created in the laboratory with the help of stem cells. This method has shown very good results in the treatment of some diseases. This method is also being used to treat corneas in the eyes.

Heard the computer chip is installed in the eye from which the vision begins.

Experiments have been performed to insert a computer chip inside the eye that transmits signals to the brain. However, it has not yet been able to be applied to patients’ eyes.
An experiment has also been done to fit a special type of binoculars into a special type of spectacles, which reduces the patient’s disability.

If someone’s retina is damaged, can the retina be replaced?

Some people have also told me that in the United States, the eyelids change, which makes the vision visible.
As far as changing the curtain is concerned, this is not the case. So far no such attempt has been successful. Silence experiments are being performed, but so far no success has been achieved. However, there are very strong expectations in this regard.

Where is optic nerve? what is its relation with vision?

This is a nerve which starts in the eye and ends in the brain. In the ey its starting point is called optic nerve. It transmits all visual information generated by retina to the brain. In the following picture relationship of eyees and brain is shown

What are symptoms of optic nerve disease?

Decraese in vision which is not imroved with glasses. Clour vision is affected early.

Is ther any treatment for optic nerve disease?

It depends upon the cause. First of all we try to find the cause then treat according to the cause.

What is the treatment of this disease?

There is no definite treatment for this uptill now. A vast research is going on.

• Very large number of patients ecove without any treatment although it takes many weeks.
• If there is leaking spot at a location wher laser can be safely applied, then laser can be applied.
• Different medicines are prescribed with variable results.
  • Anti-VEGF injections
  • Rifampicin, acetazolamde, and others
• But mostly its treatment is controversial.

The latest method for treatment of retinal detachment is vitrectomy operation. The fluid is drained out and the hole or break is welded by layer. This method is really a miracle. We should be thankfull to the reasearchers and Allah for this blessing to humanity. In the past This operation used to be very lenthy. Sometimes even 14 hours took one operation! bu now due to newer invenstions sometimes can be completed even less than a hour!

My dad has had diabetes for a long time. A few days ago, his vision suddenly deteriorated. When the doctor examined him, the doctor told that a blood vessels had ruptured. He has prescribed medicines. How does the vessel ruptures? Can the problem be treated with laser or surgery?

With the help of laser rays, the hole can be sealed-off, which stops the leakage and resoles the swelling. The laser is also applied to prevent the detachment of the retina. However, it is important not to delay the treatment by laser. Since most people start treatment too late, so the benefit is minimal.

How to know about damage by diabetese?

The only method for prevention is regular check-up by some physcian. And whenever there is a doubt go to eye specialist. Best way is annual check-up.

When the defect has been started then different test become compusory. OCT, FFA, etc

My father is feeling that his eyesight is continuously deteriorating. He has diabetes and he doubts that his eyesight is getting worse due to diabetes. How diabatese damages eyes?

Worrisome aspect of diabetes is that the damage caused by it appears very late. And usually when it comes into knowledge, it is too late. The time for best treatment may already have passed!

• If the diabetese is properly controlled and kept under constant control, it has very little effect on the eye. However, if it is not properly controlled, then the eyes can be affected in several ways as follows:
  1. In old age, because the retina and blood supply system becomes weak and diabetes also weakens them, the chances of getting worse at this age are also higher.
  2. Diabetes damages the lens of the eye which is actually transparent but becomes opaque. The common name for this disorder is cataract.
  3. Worst damage occurs in the retina. The walls of retinal blood vessels are damaged and they start to leak and break.
  4. Due to this, the blood components leak into various parts of the retina and cause swelling of different portions of the retina. This leads to decrease in retinal sensitivity to light and decrease in vision. At this stage, generally glasses do give any benefit.
  5. Many blood vessels are blocked and results into stoppage in blood supply for different portions of the retina. If the macular vessels are affected, then vision is severely decreased. If blood supply of other parts is only affected, then vision may not be decreased at this stage. They lead to formation of membranes, which contract. The vessels in these membranes frequently rupture and cause recurrent bleedings in the eye.
  6. Diabetes can damage the cornea.
  7. If the optic nerve is damaged, the eye may become completely blind.
  8. A very devastating complication is neovascular glaucoma. This is a preventable complication but when it gets established then very very difficult to treat!

?What is retina? Where is the retina

The retina in the eye is the same as the film in the camera. It is not impossible to see without retina. Retina is a masterpiece of engineering of Allah. It is situated at the inner surface of the eye like a lamination. This transparent matter which fills the hollow of the eye and is situated in front of the retina is called viscous.

The focusing system of the eye focuses the rays coming from different objects on the retina, creating an image of the object on the retina. This image is analyzed in different ways on the screen, just like on a computer’s RAM card. Coding of its details is done by analyzing the size of the image, its thickness, its color, the intensity of its brightness, etc. These codes are converted into the language of electric waves. These waves are sent to different parts of the brain through the optic nerve in the form of specific signals. To understand this all, consider the following pictures

These images on right show the structure of the eye. The image on the left are views of the retina when examined with different devices.

?What are the parts of the retina

With these pictures, try to understand how different parts of the retina are interconnected. The picture on the right show the position of different parts of the eye. The image on the left show the positions of those parts when examined with some machine.

?Is retina just a thin membrane

The yellow layer that is visible in the image below, is the retina. In this you can see that the retina is connected to the entire inner surface just like the lamination. The retina is essentially a membrane, but Allah Almighty has actually created a complex computer in the form of a membrane. Both of the images below are an attempt to give the idea of the complicated structure of the retina.

waitress is also visible on the inside of the screen In the upper image, a glass-like transparent ball-like structure filling the whole space of the eyeball is called vitreous.

The images below attempt to illustrate that if a small piece of retina is extracted from the large retina, then it is closely examined with modern microscopes, then and it looks like a highly sophisticated machinery. In these images you can see how multi-layered structure is this and there are different types of cells that are performing their unique duties!

Now the image below enlarges the structure of a small part of the retina. It is an attempts to show that how complex the retina is!

دوسرا انتہائی جدید اوزارا اور مشینیں استعمال کرکے خرابی کے سبب کو دار کرنے کے بعد محلول کو نکال کر سوراخ یا پھٹنے کی جگہ کو لیزر کے زریعے ویلڈ کردینے کا طریقہ ہے۔ اِس طریقے کا نام ویٹریکٹومی Vitrectomy اپریشن ہے۔

اپریشن کا یہ طریقہ آج کے دور کی دریافتوں میں سے ایک ایسی دریافت ہے جس پر ا للہ تعالی کا بھی شکرگذار ہونا چاہئے اور اُن محقیقن کا بھی جن کی محنتوں کے نتیجے میں یہ نعمت انسان کے علم میں آئی اور مسلسل ترقی کر رہی ہے۔ یہ طریقۂ علاج ایک عظیم نعمت ہے ۔ کسی زمانے میں اِس اپریشن پر دس دس گھنٹے صرف ہو جایا کرتے تھے لیکن اب وہی کام بعض اوقات صرف ایک گھنٹے میں اُس سے بہتر معیار کے ساتھ ہو جاتا ہے۔ پھر کسی قسم کے ٹانکے بھی نہیں لگانے پڑتے اور نہ ہی مریض کو بیہوش کرنا پڑتا علاوہ ازیں بینائی بھی صرف چند دنوں میں بحال ہو جاتی ہے۔ ذیل کی تصاویر میں اس اپریشن کے مناظر دکھائے گئے ہیں:
