Presentation transcript:

 Retinal detachment is the separation of the retina from the underlying layer of blood vessels  When the retina detaches, it separates from part of its blood supply, preventing it from working properly  Unless the retina is reattached, it may be permanently damaged

 The Retina  Detachment may begin in a small area, usually as the result of a retinal tear

 trauma  advanced diabetes  inflammatory disorder  Hereditary  it often occurs spontaneously, as a result of changes in the jelly-like vitreous that fills the vitreous cavity of your eye

 retinal detachment is painless  People tend to see small floating objects or flashes of bright light that last less than a second  Loss of peripheral vision typically begins first  vision rapidly deteriorates and everything becomes blurred

 laser surgery › Laser surgery seals holes in the retina  Freezing Therapy › Freezing therapy causes a scar to form, which holds the retina in place.
