A retinal detachment can be caused by several factors, including age-related changes in the eye, severe myopia, previous eye surgery, trauma, or certain medical conditions.
Individuals with these risk factors should attend regular eye examinations to detect any early signs of retinal changes. Understanding your risk profile is an important step in preventing vision loss. Read more here: https://pasteureyehospital.co.za/retinal_detachment/

For centuries, the literary world and artists alike have used the metaphor โwindows to the soulโ to indicate how important the eye is to the rest of the body. It is described as a first point of contact, as it were. There are even Biblical references which relates to the importance of the eye: Acts 26, verse 18: โTo open their eyes, to turn them from darkness to lightโ.
When a patient arrives with a certain problem, the eye is a treasure trove of wealth to be examined. Within it, the eyes hold opportunities and clues for the practitioners in the medical science to detect and successfully diagnose illnesses. When using technology, an Ophthalmologist (Eye specialist) can visualize the retina with clarity. The retina is the inner, thin layer of tissue that lines the back of the eye. This can be done using a split lamp with specialized lenses, a retinal camera or even doing an OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography). When a change on the retina is observed, further tests can be done in cases where Diabetes, Hypertension and High Cholesterol are suspected. There are certain marks that are left of the retina by parasitic infections such as Toxoplasmosis, Toxocara and even Malaria.
The eye is so revealing, even the use of certain medications can leave their mark on the retina. Some of these include steroids, anti-malaria medicines as well as medicines that treat heart conditions.
The close relation between the eye and the brain enables the development of new and innovative technology which can assist with a number of conditions. Increased pressure in the brain can be detected by scanning the back of the eye. The eye assists in the detection of serious conditions, such as cranial deformities, trauma suffered, infections as well as hydrocephalus. The latest technology in diagnostics through the eye, is an ultrasonic machine which tracks the dynamics of the back of the eye. When monitoring these dynamics, the amount of pressure in the brain can be determined.
The latest technology, as well as age old scriptures go to show that when your eyes are healthy, your body will too.
