What happens when a retinal detachment is ignored and not treated?

If a retinal detachment is ignored and not treated, then more of the retina can detach. This can have very detrimental consequences and increases the risk of permanent vision degradation or blindness.

What are Retinal Tears and Detachments?

The retina is the area that lines the back of your eye. The function of the retina is to translate images seen and transmit them to the brain for visual identification. When the retina tears or moves away from the eye wall, a retinal detachment occurs.
If you are experiencing any retinal detachment symptoms, contact Ram Eye Care and Retina Center immediately! Symptoms can include:
• Blurred Vision
• Pain in the Eyes
• Seeing Flashes Accompanied by Floaters
• Seeing Numerous Floaters
• Seeing Sparks or Light Flashes

Retinal detachments are more prevalent with adults 40 years of age or older, although can occur at any age. The risk for developing retinal detachment increases with the following conditions:
• Family History of Retinal Detachment
• Nearsightedness
• People that have had cataract, glaucoma or Eye Surgery
• People that have Suffered Severe Eye Injury

How are Retinal Tears and Detachment Treated?

At Ram Eye Care and Retina Center, we utilize state of the art diagnostic instruments as well as a physical examination to determine the type and extent of the damage and develop a personalized, prompt and effective treatment plan. There are various methods to treat a retinal detachment. In most cases, surgery is required to repair the detachment. Surgery is typically performed on an outpatient basis, enabling patients to go home the same day. Most surgeries are successful, although in some instances a recurrent retinal detachment may develop requiring a second surgical procedure.
