Retinal detachment Surgery
Retinal detachment is a serious and urgent eye condition where the retina, a thin layer of tissue at the back of the eye, separates from its normal position. The retina plays a crucial role in vision by capturing light and sending visual signals to the brain. When it detaches, the retina becomes separated from its underlying layer of blood vessels that maintain it with oxygen and vital nutrients necessary for its function and health.
Untreated retinal detachment can lead to irreversible visual loss in the affected eye. Some signs that might indicate that one has a retinal detachment include an abrupt flash of light; large numbers of floaters appearing in one’s sight or seeing darkness descending like a curtain over one’s horizon.
Surgery is usually done to reattach the retina and regain sight. There are several surgical options, including pneumatic retinopexy, scleral buckle surgery and vitrectomy, depending on the type and severity of the detachment. The possible outcomes depend on timely identification and management. Therefore, anyone with symptoms of such should seek medical attention immediately if they want good eye health.
