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.
When the retina detaches, it is lifted or pulled from its normal position. If not promptly treated, retinal detachment can cause permanent vision loss. In some cases there may be small areas of the retina that are torn. These areas, called retinal tears or retinal breaks, can lead to retinal detachment.
