Signs and symptoms
Common signs and symptoms that may indicate this condition.
Warning signs - seek immediate care
Flashes of light
Brief bursts of light or lightning streaks in one or both eyes.
Seek immediate medical attention if you experience sudden flashes, as this may indicate retinal tearing or detachment.
Central scotoma
A blind spot or dark area in the center of your visual field.
Urgent ophthalmologic evaluation is required for any new central blind spot.
Blurred vision
(ophthalmologic)Vision appears hazy or unfocused, making it difficult to see fine details clearly.
Frequency: 70-85% of patients
Decreased visual acuity
(ophthalmologic)A reduction in the sharpness of vision, often measured as a decline in best-corrected visual acuity.
Frequency: 65-80% of patients
Metamorphopsia
(ophthalmologic)Distorted vision where straight lines appear wavy or bent, often due to retinal swelling or irregularities.
Frequency: 40-60% of patients
Floaters
(ophthalmologic)Small dark shapes or specks that drift across your field of vision.
Frequency: 30-50% of patients
Difficulty with night vision
(ophthalmologic)Reduced ability to see in low-light conditions or darkness.
Frequency: 35-45% of patients
Eye discomfort
(ophthalmologic)General feeling of discomfort, heaviness, or pressure in or around the eye.
Frequency: 15-30% of patients
Diagnosis and tests
How this condition is diagnosed and what test results mean.
Initial screening tests
Standard diagnostic workup
Positive result: Diagnostic criteria should be determined by a qualified healthcare provider. [Content pending medical review.]
Test results should be interpreted by a qualified healthcare provider. [Content pending medical review.]
Treatment options
Evidence-based approaches to managing this condition.
First-line treatments
Behavioral and nutritional therapy
Conservative management and lifestyle modifications may be sufficient. Monitor symptoms.
Regular OCT imaging surveillance
Serial optical coherence tomography scans to monitor retinal thickness changes over time and detect progression of any underlying pathology.
Anti-VEGF therapy
Intravitreal injections of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor agents to reduce retinal edema and normalize thickness in cases associated with neovascularization or macular edema.
Additional treatment options
Laser photocoagulation
Targeted laser treatment to address abnormal blood vessel growth or seal leaking vessels contributing to abnormal retinal thickness.
procedureVitrectomy
Surgical removal of the vitreous gel to address tractional components contributing to abnormal retinal morphology and thickness.
surgicalSystemic disease management
Optimizing control of underlying conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, or autoimmune disorders that may contribute to retinal thickness abnormalities.
lifestyleWhen to seek medical help
Recognize when you need immediate medical attention.
