What Is Retinal Detachment?
Retinal detachment is a serious eye condition in which the retina becomes separated from the tissues supporting it.
Because the retina is responsible for receiving visual information, prolonged detachment can result in permanent vision loss.
Warning Signs
Sudden appearance of new floaters, flashes of light or a dark curtain or shadow moving across the field of vision can be important warning signs.
These symptoms should not be ignored, especially when they appear suddenly.
Why Early Treatment Matters
Early examination by a retina specialist can help identify retinal tears or detachment and determine the appropriate treatment.
