Retinal detachment is a condition in which the retina gets pulled away from its original position. Retinal detachment is an emergency situation and requires urgent treatment. The longer you leave retinal detachment untreated, the greater is the risk of permanent vision loss.
The retina is located at the back of the eye and converts the lens images to signals to be conducted via the optic nerve and vice versa. Thus, when the retina detaches, the patient loses vision, either totally or partially, depending on the extent of the detachment. Furthermore, when the retina is detached, its cells are deprived of oxygen, which can result in retinal cell death and permanent vision loss if not treated promptly.

To diagnose retinal detachment, you will need an eye evaluation to check your visual acuity, eye pressure, the physical appearance of the eye, and the ability to see colors. They may also evaluate the ability of the retina to transfer impulses to the brain and the blood flow and supply to the retina. Along with these tests, the doctor may suggest some imaging tests to clearly see the retina and assess the extent of the detachment of the retina. Imaging scans required for retinal detachment are:

Here are a few tips that you need to consider before preparing for retinal detachment surgery:
There is no exact method by which prevention of retinal detachment can be guaranteed. However, there are certain steps you can follow to decrease the likelihood of it occurring:
The following risk factors are commonly associated with retinal detachment:
Depending upon the cause, retinal detachment can happen either suddenly or gradually. In case of an eye trauma, the detachment of the retina can happen suddenly. Trauma can cause the retina to tear and detach from the eye. Age-related retinal detachments happen gradually.
No, retinal detachment is not a painful condition. Many people don’t feel anything at all when the retina detaches. So when the warning signs of retinal detachment start appearing, they don’t realize what’s happening.
Yes, retinal detachment is an emergency medical condition. If you begin experiencing signs and symptoms of retinal detachment, contact an ophthalmologist and get the necessary treatment.
A retinal detachment should be surgically treated as soon as possible. Delaying the treatment can cause permanent vision loss.
No, a detached retina does not heal on its own. A detached retina needs to be reattached to the back of the eye in order to restore the blood supply to the retina.
Recovery after retinal detachment surgery can take 2 to 4 weeks. Each patient has a different recovery and hence the duration required may vary from one to another.
Complete vision recovery may take months and in some cases, the vision may never fully return. The patients with chronic retinal detachment unfortunately do not regain their vision. The severe the detachment of the retina and the longer it stays, the lesser the chances of vision recovery.
The rods and cones, and the light-sensitive cells of the retina take time to recover. As such patients after retinal detachment surgery may experience blurry vision immediately after the surgery. The blurriness may persist for 2-4 weeks after the surgery.
Retinal detachment ideally is a very safe surgery. But possible complications of retinal detachment include:
Retinal detachment is a medical emergency that can lead to permanent blindness if not treated promptly. It is a medical emergency and should be treated as such. You should consult an ophthalmologist as soon as you start exhibiting the symptoms to prevent long-term complications.
The restored vision after retinal detachment surgery is usually of good quality. But in case the macula gets detached for a very long time, the vision may be impaired.
