There is generally no scarring, but the pigmentation of the burned area may change. A deep partial thickness burn is characterized by pain and whiteness in the area of the burn. This type of burn leaves a scar. Third Degree Burns: This type of burn damages all the layers of the skin.
Retinal neovascularization: Formation of new blood vessels originating from the retinal veins and extending along the inner (vitreal) surface of the retina.
The retina is the light-sensitive layer of tissue at the back of the eye that senses light and sends images to the brain. If the retina pulls away from the back of the eye, it cannot function, and you experience a retinal detachment. A retinal detachment is a medical emergency that, without treatment, almost always causes blindness. Call Retina Vitreous Associates immediately to consult with a retina surgeon.
