    What is Retinal detachment?

    Understanding About
    Retinal detachment

    Retinal detachment is a critical condition where the retina detaches from its normal position at the back of the eye. This separation deprives retinal cells of oxygen and nutrients, increasing the risk of permanent vision loss if left untreated. 

    Warning signs include reduced vision, sudden appearance of floaters, and flashes of light. 

    Immediate consultation with an ophthalmologist is crucial to preserve vision.

    Type of Retinal detachment

    Different Types of
    Retinal detachment

    Rhegmatogenous

    Most common type, caused by a hole or tear allowing fluid to collect underneath the retina, leading to detachment. Commonly associated with aging and posterior vitreous detachment.

    Tractional

    Occurs due to scar tissue growth on the retina's surface, leading to detachment. Often seen in individuals with poorly controlled diabetes.

    Exudative

    Fluid accumulates beneath the retina without holes or tears. Can result from conditions like age-related macular degeneration, eye injury, tumors, or inflammatory disorders.

    Retinal detachment FAQs

    Retinal detachment
    FAQS
    Retinal detachment is caused by a combination of factors including retinal holes, retinal breaks, or retinal tears, and liquefaction of the vitreous humor. Any tiny tears or holes in the retina can allow vitreous fluid to seep under the retina, separating it from the back wall of the eye (like wallpaper). Retinal tears may also result from a hard blow or injury to the eye, though this is rather rare.
    Not very common. Only 6-8 people out of 10,000 experience retinal detachment. Retinal detachment can occur at any age, but it is more common in midlife and later. It affects more men than women, and Caucasians more than Blacks.
    Bottle rockets, BB guns, racquetball, tennis, golf, soccer, boxing, and diving injuries can lead to retinal detachment.
    Yes, even a slight blockage of the vision caused by partial retinal detachment can result in blindness if not treated right away.
    Only if the detachment is due to a successfully treated medical condition such as toxemia of pregnancy or rare forms of eye inflammation.

    Some medications like corticosteroids can increase the risk by causing changes in the eye’s structure. Consult an eye specialist if you’re on such medications.

    A tear is a small break in the retina, while detachment occurs when the retina completely separates from the eye’s layers. Both require prompt treatment.

    Flashes of light, floaters, or a shadow in your vision can indicate retinal detachment. Seek immediate medical attention if these occur.
