Retinal Detachment
Retinal Detachment
Retinal detachment occurs when your retina pulls away from the tissue along the inner wall of the eye. This condition causes the retina to malfunction. If it's not addressed immediately, it can have devastating consequences on your vision, so early diagnosis is vital. Once detachment is discovered, there are several options to correct it, but only if it's detected early.
At a glance:
- People who have diabetes and are nearsighted are more prone to retinal detachment.
- If not treated within two to three days, retinal detachment can lead to severe damage to your vision.
- No pain is associated with retinal detachment. Symptoms include seeing flashes of light or floaters and darkening of peripheral vision.
Have Your Eyes Examined Annually
Prevention is vital: Schedule a comprehensive eye exam at least once a year for proper vision care.
