Retinal Detachment
Immediate Attention Required!!!
Overview
Retinal detachment is a serious ocular health problem that requires immediate evaluation. The most common signs and symptoms of retinal detachment are new onset floaters, large flashes of light better visible in dim or dark lighting, a curtain or veil like appearance to the vision in the affected eye. Those at higher risk for retinal tears or detachment are: those who are very nearsighted over approximately -4.00 glasses prescription, anyone who has had previous ocular surgery, anyone with a family history of retinal detachment, anyone who has had a retinal detachment in one eye already and anyone with a severe eye or head injury. Such as a strike from a racquetball, baseball or accident where you hit your head very hard.

Eye problems can permanently damage your eye sight if not diagnosed and treated early.
Many eye problems like glaucoma, macular degeneration, cataracts and diabetic retinopathy don't have obvious symptoms in their early stages. Changes in vision are often so gradual that you unconsciously adjust to your sight without realizing your vision has changed. You may think you are seeing as well as you were a year ago and don’t have problems, but you can't be sure until you've had your eyes thoroughly examined.
