| Eye Sight Examination What is retinal detachment? Usually the retina is attached to the inner surface of the eye. If there is a tear of hole in the retina then fluid can get underneath it, This weakens the attachment so that the retina becomes detached - rather like wallpaper peeling off a damp wall. When this happens the retina cannot compose a clear picture from the incoming rays and your vision becomes blurred and dim.
Detachment of the retina happens more to middle aged, short sighted people. It is quite uncommon however and only about one person in ten thousand is affected. Very rarely, younger people can have a weakness of the retina. What are the symptoms? The most common symptoms is a shadow spreading across the vision of one eye. You may also experience bright flash of light and or showers of dark sports called floaters. There symptoms are never painful. |
The Types of Diseases Found :
 Nastagmus Cataracts Diabetics Glaucoma Macular

Many people experience flashed or floaters and these are not necessarily a cause for alarm. However if they are severe and seem to be getting worse, and or you are losing vision then you should see a doctor urgently. Promptly treatment can offen minimise the damage to your eye. What is the treatment? If you get help early, it may only be necessary to have a laser or freezing treatment. This is usually performed under a local anaesthetic.
We want to reassure you that your surgeon does not take your eye out if its sockets to operate on it . |
