The first two entities, diabetes and SC, develop retinopathy based upon a systemic metabolic disruption of retinal physiology. The other proliferative retinopathies, except for chronic retinal detachment, are due to either genetic or developmental abnormalities. They all exert their deleterious effects by inducing ischemia and thereby disrupting the metabolic needs of the retina. This invariably leads to neovascularization (NV) of the retina with resultant glial organization with or without hemorrhage into the vitreous. Subsequent contraction of the vitreous gel causes retinal detachment and often blindness. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
