Does Viral Infection Cause Retinal Detachment?
Antiviral therapy can be tried.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I think you are having retinal detachment due to viral infection.
Retinal detachment separates the retinal cells from the layer of blood vessels that provides oxygen and nourishment.In long term if left untreated may cause loss of vision in affected eye.
i would suggest you to go for retinal imaging.Retinal imaging is a recent technological advancement in eyecare. It enables your optometrist to capture a digital image of the retina, blood vessels and optic nerve located at the back of your eyes..
Experimental and clinical success has been reported for topical alpha-interferon, cidofovir,As well, the most promising substance in vitro, cidofovir, has been doubted to be effective at all in clinical trials.
So you can ask your opthalmologist to give it a try.
Currently, N-chlorotaurin, which has been proven to be effective against adenovirus and adenovirus infection in vivo and in vitro and has been reported tolerable is entering a phase III clinical trial. However, data regarding the actual shortening of the disease, the duration of symptoms, and the effect on shedding of the virus in humans have not yet been reported.
You can discuss the options with your treating doctor.
Thanks.
