Detached Retina

Attention: open in a new window.

A condition in which part of the Retina (the layer within the eye which receives the image) becomes separated or detached from the inside of the eye. Symptoms include a sudden loss of vision over the area of vision affected. The condition is more common in myopic patients and the elderly. Prompt treatment involving laser surgery can often correct the condition, although patients generally suffer some permanent reduction in their visual field.
