What is Retinal Detachment?

Retinal Detachment is an eye disorder in which the retina is being peeled away from its underlying tissue. In the beginning, it may be a partial detachment, but if not treated immediately, then the entire retina might get detach which will ultimately cause blindness. This condition arises due to exceptionally thin or damaged retina where the fluid gets in and pushes the retina away from its supportive tissue. Generally, surgery is required to treat retinal detachment, but in minor cases, a simple procedure can be done at your doctor’s clinic (if detected early).

Slightest changes in the vision should never be ignored, it can be something big

Retinal detachment is a very serious eye disorder in which the retina separates or peels away from the tissue around it. If you observe flashes of light or floaters in your vision, or darken side vision, don't delay visiting a retina specialist as these might be the symptoms of retinal detachment. This condition if not treated timely can lead to vision loss or blindness.
