Signs of a Retinal Detachment

2/1/2022

One of the most serious eye problems that can occur is a detached retina. While a detached retina can affect anyone, it is more common as we age. Learning the signs and symptoms can help you know when to get emergency treatment. Keep reading below to learn more about a detached retina.

What is a retinal detachment?

A detached retina is exactly what it sounds like. It involves the separation of the retina from the blood vessels that supply it with oxygen. In some cases, the retina may tear. In other instances, the retina can partially or completely detach.

A retinal detachment can lead to permanent vision loss. Although treatment can help, the longer the condition is untreated, the greater the risk of vision loss.

Signs and symptoms

It is vital to recognize signs of a detached retina as soon as possible. If only a small section of the retina detached, you may not have any symptoms, but when symptoms do occur, they may include:

New floaters, which may appear as lines, specs, or cobwebs
Flashes of light in the eye
A dark shadow in the middle of your field of vision or side vision
Symptoms may develop suddenly

What to do if you have symptoms

The symptoms of a detached retina can also occur with other conditions, but it is better to err on the side of caution and get checked out immediately if you develop any of the above symptoms. A detached retina is an emergency. You need to head to the eye doctor or emergency room if you think you have a detached retina.

Risks and causes

Anyone can develop a detached retina, but there are certain factors that may increase your risk, such as:

Aging: As we age, the gel-like substance in the eye may pull away from the retina.

Eye Injury: Having a serious eye injury, such as a trauma or a blow to the eye, can lead to a retinal detachment.
Eye surgery: Having past eye surgery, such as surgery for glaucoma, can increase your risk.
Past history: Having a history of a past retinal detachment or having a family member with a retinal detachment also increases your risk.
Diabetes: A history of diabetic retinopathy increases your risk.
Some uncommon eye diseases: Certain eye conditions, such as retinoschisis, which occurs when the retina separates into two layers, also increase your risk.

Treatment

Treatment for a retinal detachment involves surgery. There are a few different surgical approaches that may be used. The best option may depend on the extent of the tear or detachment. Possible options include laser surgery or freezing if a retinal tear is present. If the retina detached, other surgical options may be performed.

After surgery, depending on the type of procedure you had, you may have to keep your head in a certain position while the eye heals. You may also need to avoid certain activities, such as intense exercise.

Prevention

There is no way to completely prevent a detached retina. In some cases, it occurs due to aging, which is not controllable, but it can also occur due to an eye injury. You can reduce your risk of an eye injury by wearing appropriate safety goggles or eyewear for the activity you are doing.

It is also helpful to have a dilated eye exam every year. A dilated eye exam can help your eye doctor identify small tears or the start of a retinal detachment before it becomes severe.

If you have any questions about retinal detachment, we are happy to help. Also, if you would like to ask whether an appointment with one of our eye doctors would be appropriate at this time, call our office at 508-746-8600.

IGNORANCE IS A MAJOR HUMAN HEALTH CHALLENGE

I am Jason, a Swiss national. Your biggest enemy might be fear, uncertainty, the mistakes others have made in the past, or even stories told by others who have never made real effort to seek better health. At 39, my dreams were almost shattered as I had lived with HIV for 6 years due to a month-long relationship with a former high school lover. All thanks to Dr WHITE from whom i got healed and my light was rekindled. I was devastated, I stopped dreaming, hope was lost but my decision to try a herbal remedy after researching online brought me back to life. So when your doctor tells you that there is no cure for viral infections, you are telling yourself to hell. Today I have done series of confirmatory HIV tests and everything has proven that I am cured and my skin is refreshed. Protect yourself from HIV, Herpes, HPV, Hepatitis and more by contacting Dr White on Whatsapp 00234-9091-844595. His medications have no side effects, can be mailed to you, no hidden charges, and are taken for a few weeks for full recovery. I have posted this in many forums and a lot of people and called me to say thank you. Together we can save our loved once and stop antiretroviral drugs with so many side effects.

I was broken, rejected and almost lost all hope due to my 13 years of HIV infection. Then I read about the doctor WHITE on a blog and wrote to him on Whatsapp Via: +2349091844595 and Email: drwhitethehivhealer@gmail.com, after hearing my story he sent me herbal remedies that cured me of HIV / AIDS. My doctor is still puzzled by the results of the laboratory investigations because I tested negative 4 times after using the drugs. I lost all shame because I am now free and my husband took me back. I testify that you will be cured of hepatitis, cancer, herpes or diabetes and others if you use his medicines. Don't be a victim, but be victorious

We had everything we wanted as a family except good health. I had to do this for the benefit of those who still doubt the efficacy of genuine herbal medicines just as my dad doubted the moment i came with the news of Dr.WHITE been able to cure Herpes Virus. Unlike Mum, dad is a (RACIST) who never believed something good could come from the black race. I was beautiful and adventurous but when I had herpes infection spreading in my body like wide fire at a time Dad was battling HIV it was like a dark cloud covering my family. For many years i suffered pain and shame. I decided to surf the internet for alternative cure which lead me to Dr. WHITE whatsapp +2349091844595 a powerful but humble herbalist and healer who promised to cure me and kept to his words. This man is another Daddy from a different nation. At first I was skeptical, I asked him both relevant and irrelevant questions but he was patient to prove my medical doctors and dad wrong who said no cure. Haven made every arrangement; he prepared and sent the cure to me through Courier express service which I received at door step. In 2weeks of using his cure my symptoms disappeared and I was well again though the prescription was for a month. All thanks to Dr. White who put integrity and human sympathy above material things. I had read many testimonies of those who benefited from Dr. WHITE medicines, this actually prompted me to write him but today, I’m herpes free and Dad is HIV negative haven seen my case and got convinced to use herbal cure. Heavenly thanks to Dr. WHITE for restoring our Joy. Call Dr. White for HIV, Herpes, Hepatitis, Infertility, Diabetes and Cancer Cure. bless you

Am writing this article to thank Dr. Jumba, the powerful spell caster that helped me recently to bring back my ex lover that left me for another woman for no reason for the past 8 years. After seeing a post on the internet by Jenna from the USA saying how she was helped by Dr. Jumba, I also decided to contact him for help because I had no choice. All I wanted was for me to get my lover back and happiness. To my greatest surprise my lover came home on his knees that i should find a place in my heart to forgive him, I was truly astonished and shocked when my lover knelt down begging for forgiveness and for me to accept him back. I am really short of expressions, and I don't know how much to convey my appreciation to you Dr. Jumba. You are a God sent to restore a broken relationship, And now I'm a joyful woman. his contact details are; wiccalovespelltools@gmail.com Whatsapp number +27651108524 .

I was doing research on how I can improve my chances of winning the lottery and I came across so many testimonies on a blog saying how dr. Kumar has helped them win the lottery by sending them the winning numbers. I was curious and I thought it was all a joke but I decided to give it a try and see for myself and I contacted this spell caster to know for myself how this works because I have spent a lot buying tickets and I never win. I contacted him and he told me the necessary thing that need to be done and i did it and he told me to wait for 2days and truly he gave me the winning numbers to play the lottery which i did, i got my tickets and play the numbers which Dr Kumar gave to me and i won the sum of $85M(85,000,000USD). I want to let you all know that online tips can not help you win the lottery. Dr Kumar is the only answer of you winning the lottery. Contact him today and get the winning numbers from him.

I'm here to let everyone know that there is a cure for HERPES1&2. The doctors have succeeded in letting people living with Herpes know that there is no cure for Herpes and they have been enslaved to the antiviral and other supplementary Orthodox medicine just to help suppress the virus and not a cure. I got diagnose of herpes1 January this year 2022 and i did not believe in my doctor that there is no cure for herpes rather i went into research online and I was introduce to Dr Osato a herbal healer by a blogger who also narrated Her story online on how she was cured of Herpes after using Dr Osato Herbal Medicine. I got the herbal medicine from Dr Osato and made use of it as I was instructed. I went to the clinic for a checkup after two weeks of using the herbal product. My result came out Negative and I was booked another appointment after 30days to confirm my result and the test still showed Negative and I was given the green light that I am fully free from herpes. All thanks to God for using this Great herbalist to heal me. You can contact Dr Osato by email: osatoherbalcure@gmail.com or WhatsApp +2347051705853. His website is osatoherbalcure.wordpress.com. I have promised to keep sharing my testimony so people will know that there is a cure for herpes.

When we were at dinner with my parents, my dad began to see flashing lights in his right eye. He mentioned this, then got very worried because he knew it was not going to pass. Thank you for pointing out that a symptom of retinal detachment is flashes of light in the eye. We will call an eye doctor for him today.
