🩺 What is Retinal Detachment?

Retinal detachment is a serious eye condition where the retina — the light-sensitive layer at the back of your eye — separates from its normal position. If not treated promptly, it can lead to permanent vision loss.

⚠️ Warning Signs to Watch For

✔️ Sudden appearance of floaters (small dots or lines in vision)
✔️ Flashes of light in one or both eyes
✔️ A shadow or “curtain” moving across your visual field
✔️ Sudden blurred or reduced peripheral vision

🔴 Retinal detachment is an emergency. Seek care immediately if you notice these symptoms.

✔️ How Retinal Detachment is Diagnosed

✔️ Dilated eye exam – allows the doctor to view the retina
✔️ Ultrasound of the eye – if vision is too impaired
✔️ Optical coherence tomography (OCT) – detailed retinal imaging

⭐ Treatment Options for Retinal Detachment

✅ 1. Laser (Photocoagulation) or Cryopexy (Freezing)

✔️ For small retinal tears or holes
✔️ Performed in-office
✔️ Prevents progression to full detachment

 

✅ 2. Pneumatic Retinopexy

✔️ A gas bubble is injected into the eye
✔️ The bubble pushes the retina back into place
✔️ Often combined with laser or cryotherapy
✔️ Outpatient procedure
✔️ You must maintain specific head positioning for days

 

✅ 3. Scleral Buckling Surgery

✔️ A flexible band is placed around the eye to relieve tension
✔️ Used for more serious or complex detachments
✔️ Performed under local or general anesthesia

 

✅ 4. Vitrectomy

✔️ Removal of vitreous gel pulling on the retina
✔️ Retina is repositioned and sealed with laser
✔️ Gas or silicone oil may be placed to hold it in place
✔️ Suitable for complex or large detachments
✔️ Often used in diabetic eye disease or trauma cases

 

🕒 Recovery and Aftercare

✔️ Recovery time: 2–6 weeks
✔️ Temporary vision changes (blurred or wavy vision) are common
✔️ Avoid flying if a gas bubble is used until cleared by your doctor
✔️ Follow-up appointments are essential to monitor healing
