Retinal Detachment Surgery
At Yuvaan Netralaya, we provide advanced Retinal Detachment Surgery to treat retinal detachment and help preserve vision. A retinal detachment is a serious eye condition in which the retina separates from the back of the eye, interrupting its blood supply and function. Without prompt treatment, it can lead to permanent vision loss. Our experienced retina specialists use advanced surgical techniques and modern technology to restore retinal attachment and achieve the best possible visual outcomes.
What is Retinal Detachment?
Retinal detachment occurs when the retina lifts away from its normal position at the back of the eye. Since the retina is responsible for converting light into visual signals, detachment can significantly affect vision. It is considered an ophthalmic emergency and requires immediate medical attention to prevent permanent vision loss.
Symptoms of Retinal Detachment
Seek immediate ophthalmic care if you experience:
- Sudden appearance of numerous floaters.
- Flashes of light in one or both eyes.
- A dark curtain or shadow moving across your vision.
- Sudden blurred or reduced vision.
- Loss of peripheral (side) vision.
- Distorted or wavy vision.
Who is at Higher Risk?
Certain individuals have a higher risk of developing retinal detachment, including:
- People with high myopia (high minus power).
- Patients with previous retinal tears or detachment.
- Individuals with a history of eye injury or trauma.
- People who have undergone previous eye surgery.
- Individuals with a family history of retinal detachment.
- Patients with certain retinal disorders.
