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 retina works with the cornea, lens, and other parts of your eye and brain to produce normal vision. Retinal detachment occurs when the retina separates from the back of your eye. This causes loss of vision that can be partial or total, depending on how much of the retina is detached. When your retina becomes detached, its cells may be seriously deprived of oxygen. Retinal detachment is a medical emergency.
