What is lattice degeneration?

Lattice degeneration is a common peripheral retinal degeneration that is characterized by localized retinal thinning, overlying vitreous liquefaction, and marginal vitreoretinal adhesion. The condition is associated with atrophic retinal holes, retinal tears, and retinal detachments.

Is lattice degeneration a retinal disease?

Lattice degeneration is a condition that affects the retina, which is the tissue at the back of the eye essential for clear and proper vision. Lattice degeneration affects the peripheral portions of the retina, resulting in the tissue developing a lattice pattern.

What is bilateral retinal lattice degeneration?

Lattice degeneration is a thinning of the retina that happens over time. About 10 percent of people (1 in 10) have lattice degeneration. You need a healthy retina to see clearly, but most with this condition never have any symptoms or a loss in vision. Rarely, lattice degeneration can lead to retinal detachment.

Where does lattice degeneration occur?

Lattice degeneration is located at the edge of the retina and is associated with abnormally strong adhesions between the retina and the vitreous gel that fills the eye. These adhesions represent the chief clinical danger of this disease because of their ability to lead to retinal tears and detachment after PVD.

Why is it called lattice degeneration?

Lattice degeneration is a disease of the human eye wherein the peripheral retina becomes atrophic in a lattice pattern and may develop tears, breaks, or holes, which may further progress to retinal detachment.

How is lattice degeneration diagnosed?

Symptoms and Diagnostic Testing: Lattice degeneration itself does not cause symptoms, so the only way to diagnose the condition is with a dilated fundus examination by an eye care provider.

What is thinning of the retina called?

Retinal detachment describes an emergency situation in which a thin layer of tissue (the retina) at the back of the eye pulls away from its normal position. Retinal detachment separates the retinal cells from the layer of blood vessels that provides oxygen and nourishment.

At what age does lattice degeneration start?

Lattice patients with low to moderate degrees of myopia tend to develop detachments between 40 and 60 years of age caused by premature posterior vitreous separation and tractional tears.
