Just sustained an eye injury and was told the answer was no! Sorry
What is hypermyopia?
Extreme short sightedness Hypermyopia is Retinal Detachment The retina is attached to the sclera in the back of the eye, and a retinal detachment occurs when it is pulled away from this normal position. The retina, like film in a camera, is responsible for creating the images that one sees. A good picture could not be produced if the film were not in its correct location within the camera, and we lose vision if the retina is not in its proper place within the eye. The retina detaches by separating from the back wall of the eye. When it is removed from its blood supply (the choroid), it will lose nourishment and result in a loss of some vision if not repaired in time. This retinal tear may be caused by trauma or by a vitreous detachment (or "posterior vitreous detachment"). Vitreous detachment, not uncommon in older people, results from the vitreous fluid shrinking and pulling away from the retina. This causes "floaters," which do not damage the retina or vision.

Describe the three chambers of the eyeball?
Anterior, Posterior, and Vitreous Chambers of the Eye
What is the removal of the vitreous fluid of the posterior chamber of the eye and the replacing of it with a clear solution?
cytokines
Where is the vitreous body in the eye?
Its the space between the lens and the retina
What is the fluid in the posterior cavity of the eye?
vitreous humorA clear gel called vitreous humor (vitre = glassy) that binds tremendous amounts of water. It's functions are to:transmit lightsupport the posterior surface of the lenshold the neural retina firmly against the pigmented layercontribute to intraocular pressure to counteract the extrinsic eye muscles(taken right out of my A&P textbook)** Added by m5fanatic **Glad you could copy your text book, but the question asks about the posterior CAVITY of the eye, not the eyeball itself. Posterior to the eye is mucous membranes, the ocular muscles, etc.Aqueous HumorThe Vitreous humor in the posterior cavity behind the lens.Liquid Humerus
What is the purpose of vitrectomy surgery?
A vitrectomy is a surgery performed on the eye. This surgery removes the gel of the eye known as the vitreous humor. It is used to aid in the treatment of eye conditions such as vitreous floaters and retinal detachment.
What disease correspond to the code 379.21?
* Detachment of the corpus vitreum (VITREOUS BODY) from its normal attachments, especially the retina, due to shrinkage from degenerative or inflammatory conditions, trauma, myopia, or senility. * 379.21 is a specific code that can be used to specify a diagnosis * 379.21 contains 6 index entries * View the ICD-9-CM Volume 1 379.* hierarchy * Vitreous: ** cavitation ** detachment ** liquefaction 379.21 refers to vitreous detachment/cavitation/degeneration. Information source: first hand from my trusted opthalmologist.
When is vitrectomy performed for retinal detachment?
Vitrectomy is typically performed in more complex cases of retinal detachment. During the procedure, the vitreous gel is removed, and the retina is reattached with the help of gas or silicone oil.
