Retinal Detachment

What is a Retinal Detachment?

In this condition the retinal tissue has started or has become detached from its support tissue that holds it place to the back of the eye. This happens when a hole, or tear has developed from either an injury or some ongoing eye problems.

It often only happens in one eye, however both eyes should be checked regularly to prevent any further problems especially in cases where a person has diabetes, where sometimes the risks are greater from retinal detachment.
