A retinal detachment is a crucial disease as it may direct to blindness. This occurs when liquefied vitreous enters through retinal tears and detached the retina, hence, causing a retinal detachment which constructs the photoreceptor cells of the retina crucial for eyesight and loses blood supply and causing it to die off subsequently.

Some patients have indicated that they have been seeing floaters and flash lights and wonder if this is one of the symptom of a retinal tear. Floaters are actually shadows of opacities in the vitreous cavity thrown onto and appreciated by the retina. These type of floaters have been labeled by patients in all figures and amount and is more effortlessly viewed in areas of bright illumination, notably against a full light coloured setting.

One way to restore retinal tears is by undertaking laser eye surgery which would often hold about 15-20 minutes or eye surgeries like linoff's balloon, pneumatic retinopexy, scleral buckling surgery which is up to the patient's decision. Some other famous eye healing that Total Eyecare center provides are cataract operation as well as curing for diabetic retinopathy and age related macular degeneration.
