Retinal Detachment

What is Retinal Detachment?

Retina is the light-sensitive layer of tissue that lines the inside of the eye. It sends visual messages to the brain. Retinal detachment is a complicated eye problem caused by the separation of retina from its supporting layers. When the retina is detached, information cannot be relayed to the brain and patient can permanently lose vision if the detached retina isn’t repaired promptly.

Retinal Detachment Causes

Trauma to the eye (eye injury)
Diabetes
Family history of retinal detachment
Complications from cataract surgery
Extreme high short-sightedness (myopia)
Retinal detachment is more common among people over age 50
