Retina Surgeries

Retina Surgeries

 

Retinal Detachment

  • More commonly occur in people with high degree of shortsightedness and those having significant eye injuries.
  • Symptoms are flashes, sudden increase in floaters and seeing gradually enlarging shadow.
  • Immediate medical attention is required.


Floaters

  • Black spots or webs that appear to be floating in vision.
  • They are usually due to normal degeneration of vitreous (gel-like substance inside eyeball). Such degeneration is common and harmless.
  • However, sudden increase in number of floaters may be a symptom of retinal detachment. Immediate attention by ophthalmologist is necessary.
