Retinal ablation is a condition of detachment of the retina, or the mesh membrane, from its original position that can cause permanent blindness because the retina lacks oxygen and nutrients. The experience of the retinal ablation surgery that Zauji went through made us have many new points of view of his healthy pleasures.
During previous retinal detachment control, Prof.
Arief S. Kartasasmita, Dr., SpM (K), M.Kes., M.M., PhD, stated that
Zauji's right eye papil paled. And we were also referred to consult with
the glaucoma section, and it was recommended to do an OCT examination. Optical coherence tomography (OCT)
is a medical diagnostic imaging technique that utilizes photonics and optical fibers to get images and characterization of the
tissues of both eyes.
The Poed Papil
In a previous examination
at the regular clinic of BPJS, the glaucoma doctor mentioned that in
the case of Zauji, the papilledema could not be specifically known as the cause, so the glaucoma part gave approval to Prof. Arief's plan
that would carry out silicone evacuation.
We
also
return to the retina in the regular clinic of BPJS and show OCT results.
After the examination, the head of the retina stated that the silicon
will
still maintained because the retinal worry is not strong enough to stick
even though
In fact, based on the OCT results, the condition of the papilla began to
deteriorate. And we are allowed to return to consult with Prof. Arief at
the pavilion clinic if we are still curious about the decision that the
chief doctor made.
The
next day we went back to see Prof. Arief at the Cicendo Hospital
pavilion clinic. He stated that the condition of the decline in papil
can not be ascertained, whether from silicone or anything else. After
seeing the results of the OCT, Prof. Arief also agreed with the opinion
of the head doctor. Therefore, the doctor will make observations for two
months to compare the results of this month's and the following month's
OCT.
If
there is a significant decrease in the change, it is certain that the
silicone oxa has a negative effect on the condition of the papillae. In
general, this condition is rare, so Zauji's case could be the first
case to be a similar reference for other cases.
According
to him, there are not many research journals related to the influence
of silicone oxanas on papillae because, in theory, the oxana silicon will be
evacuated after 3 months of installation. But given the case of Zauji, who
has had 7 surgeries due to the position of the retina that is
continuously released after surgery, the doctor took a decision between
the two options: the retina attaches with the help of a silicone oksana, but
the condition of the papil decreases, or silicone oksanas are evacuated to
save the papil, but there is always the possibility of the retina re-releasing.
Like the fruit of Simalakama
Both
are like simalakama. The difference is that retinal damage can be
renewed as long as the retina can be placed back in the original place,
but pupil damage is irreversible, meaning that when it has been damaged,
there is no option to restore it.
The
condition of the lowering pupil is characterized by an increasingly
opening right eye; however, Zauji does not feel a significant difference
because since the third operation, the right eye has already not been functioning properly.
What to do?
The
condition of the lowering papyl is characterized by an increasingly
atrophic right eye; however, Zauji does not feel a significant difference
because since the third operation, the right eye has already not been functioning properly. The scenario of God is always the best. That's what Zauji always planted in me.
If the loss or even the disappearance of the vision becomes the way of Zaji is closer to God, let it be like that because whatever Allah gives will always be the best for His servant.
The
next two months we went through the days with a regular routine. Zauji
was still faithful to take me on the move. Nothing is restricted unless
we avoid traveling on a motorcycle at night. In the past we had a
touring schedule to visit relatives in various cities; now I myself feel
more worried and overprotective if Zauji travels far, even though it was just my pick-up at the office.
What are the next control results?
The experience of retinal detachment surgery for more than a year makes
us always feel anxious every time we do a checkup at Cicendo Hospital. I hope we get the good results soon, yes...
