A detached retina is when your retina lifts away from the back of the eye. You may see flashing lights or many new floaters. Or you may see a shadow in your side vision. Also, a gray curtain might cover part of your field of vision. If you have any of these signs, call an ophthalmologist right away.
Surgery may be done to help your retina heal in place against the eye wall.
A type of bubble may be placed in your eye to help the retina heal in place. You must follow your ophthalmologist’s instructions after surgery to help make sure your eye heals properly.
If you have any questions about your vision, speak with your ophthalmologist. They are committed to protecting your sight.
