Retinal Detachment: A Medical Emergency That Requires Immediate Attention

A retinal detachment occurs when the retina separates from the underlying tissue that supplies it with oxygen and nutrients. This serious condition can lead to permanent vision loss if not treated promptly, making early recognition and rapid care critical.

Warning Signs You Should Never Ignore

Retinal detachment often presents with sudden symptoms, including:

  • A sudden increase in floaters
  • Flashes of light in one or both eyes
  • A shadow or curtain appearing in your peripheral vision
  • Rapid loss of visual clarity

These symptoms may not be painful, but they require immediate evaluation by a retina specialist.
