A retinal detachment is a crucial disease as it may direct to blindness. This strikes when liquefied vitreous enters through retinal tears and isolates the retina, therefore, causing a retinal detachment which makes the photoreceptor cells of the retina essential for eyesight and loses blood supply and causing it to die off eventually.

Some patients have mentioned that they have been seeing floaters and flash lights and wonder if this is one of the sign of a retinal tear. Floaters are actually shadows of opacities in the vitreous cavity cast onto and collected by the retina. These form of floaters have been defined by patients in all shapes and dimensions and is more simply seen in locations of bright illumination, markedly against a plain light coloured background.

One technique to treat retinal tears is by going through laser eye surgery which would usually stands about 15-20 minutes or eye surgeries like linoff's balloon, pneumatic retinopexy, scleral buckling surgery which is up to the patient's selection. Some other trendy eye healing that Total Eyecare center deals are cataract operation as well as treatments for diabetic retinopathy and age related macular degeneration.
