Basic Baby Cardigan. When I received this beautiful yarn in the mail, it was love at first sight. I don't normally choose blue, but I am currently so drawn to this dusky gray/blue shade.
Answer: Thinning of the retina can occur in the central retina (macular thinning) or the peripheral retina. Central macular thinning happens spontaneously in a small number of individuals and is unrelated to anything that you have done. In most cases, it does not cause serious vision loss; in rare cases, it may lead to a macular hole and require surgery (which carries a very good prognosis). Peripheral retinal thinning is most often related to a condition called lattice degeneration. This is present in 8 to 10 percent of the population and can be present for many years. Lattice degeneration does increase the risk of a retinal tear or retinal detachment.
The elevated blood pressure causes damage to the blood vessels in the retina resulting in bleeding or fluid seepage. This can further lead to separation or detachment of the retina resulting in blindness. Retinal degeneration can also cause blindness and results in a loss of the light sensory cells in the retina. Though this is generally a slow and progressive disorder, the final stages of loss of vision can seem sudden.
