HOMOEOPATHIC REMEDIES FOR RETINOPATHY
Retinopathy is persistent or acute damage to the retina of the eye . On going inflammation and vascular remodeling
may occur over periods of time where the patient is not fully aware of the
extent of the disease. Frequently, retinopathy is anocular manifestation of
systemic diseases as seen in diabetes and hypertension. Diabetic retinopathy is the leading cause of blindness in
working-aged people.
Causes---Causes of
retinopathy include but are not limited to:
Diabetes mellitus, which causes
diabetic retinopathy
Arterial hypertension, which
causes hypertensive retinopathy .
Retinopathy of prematurity due
to prematurity of the newborn (under the 9 months of human pregnancy).
Radiation retinopathy due
to exposure to ionizing radiation.
Solar retinopathy due to
direct sunlight exposure.
Sickle cell disease
Retinal vascular disease such
as retinal vein or artery occlusion.
Trauma, especially to the head,
and several diseases may causePurtscher’s retinopathy
Hyperviscosity-related
retinopathy as seen in disorders which cause paraproteinemia
Many types
of retinopathy are proliferative, most often resulting from neovascularization or
blood vessel overgrowth. Angiogenesis is the hallmark precursor that
may result in blindness or severe
vision loss, particularly if the macula becomes affected.
Retinopathy
may more rarely be due to ciliopathic genetic disorders such as Alstrom
syndrome or Bardet – Biedl syndrome
Retinopathy
is diagnosed by an opthalmologist during eye examination. Treatment
depends on the cause of the disease.
