Retinal Tear and Retinal Detachment<\/h1>\n

Retinal tear and retinal detachment affect the retina<\/strong>, the thin, light-sensitive lining at the back of the eye responsible for transmitting images to the brain. A retinal tear occurs when the retina is pulled away from its normal position. If fluid passes through the tear, it can cause the retina to separate from the back of the eye causing a \u201cdetached retina\u201d<\/strong> which can be serious and lead to permanent vision loss.<\/h5>\n

Our eyes are filled with a gel-like substance called vitreous<\/strong>. The vitreous, which is loosely attached to the retina, thickens, shrinks, and moves away from the retina as we get older.<\/strong> This may cause “floating” specs to appear in our vision. This occurrence is not cause for alarm unless the vitreous pulls on the retina hard enough to cause a retinal tear or retinal detachment. A sudden decrease in vision, increased floaters, sudden flashes of light, and shadows in your peripheral vision<\/strong> can indicate a tear is occurring. During a retinal detachment, it may appear as if a curtain is closing on your vision.<\/strong> These retinal tear and retinal detachment symptoms should be treated immediately to prevent serious vision loss. <\/h5>\n
