Retinitis pigmentosa is usually a difficulty in night vision and daytime and cannot be macular type (which gives the macular lesion, central visual field), but better to direct it, you can go for visual evoked potential, retinography colored and fluorescent.

Adaptation to the graft

One patient undergone surgeries in 2004: Raise gas, silicone band, silicone oil, remove the oil, replace the oil, sew the ciliary body (it off) and put a little oil silicon. Today, the eye is ugly and has great sensitivity.

The prosthesis adaptation

You should try the laser because the less invasive option, then try to rehabilitation. Do not lose the hopes, involving cases of retinal detachment is hard, but go for the option of what is called.

He has 25 degrees of myopia and did the surgery, intra ocular lens implantation in both eyes. One month after the first surgery, retinal detachment, and had a hemorrhage during surgery, with pneumatic retinopexy. A month later, further surgery (this time to put oil and vitrectomy) and new bleeding.

Today six months after the first surgery, the doctor gave the retina of the right eye and lost, and diagnosed a severe macular degeneration in the left eye (acuity 20/400) and said that now, only with the adaptation and exercise for low vision.

Patient with 25 diopters of myopia

Unfortunately, the retina was separated after surgery of cataract extraction. The next step was to retinopexy and after vitrectomy with silicone oil. Probably he had what we call PRV (vitreoretinal proliferation), causing recurrence of detachment.
