Book AppointmentWhat Is Retinal Detachment?
Retinal detachment occurs when the retina, the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye, separates from its underlying tissue. This serious condition can lead to permanent vision loss if not treated promptly.
It can affect one or both eyes and may develop suddenly. Early detection is critical to preserving retinal detachment vision and preventing complications.
Types of Retinal Detachment:
- Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment: Caused by a tear or hole in the retina.
- Tractional Retinal Detachment: Occurs when scar tissue pulls the retina away from its normal position.
- Exudative Retinal Detachment: Caused by fluid accumulation under the retina without a tear.
Retinal Detachment Symptoms to Watch For
Symptoms may appear suddenly. Recognizing them early can save your vision:
- Sudden appearance of retinal detachment floaters or dark spots
- Flashes of light in one or both eyes
- Shadow or curtain over part of your visual field
- Sudden decrease in vision or blurred vision (retinal detachment vision)
- Immediate consultation is essential if any of these signs occur.
