Signs & Symptoms of Retinal Detachment
There are two most noticeable signs for retinal detachment, those are either dark shades or shadows in your vision, known as floaters these can look like strands, dots or flies in your vision. The other is bright flashes which represent lightening streaks usually in the peripheral vision. It is not always the case that the retina has already become detached but when these symptoms are experienced it may mean that there is tear or a hole in the retina usually these symptoms precede a retinal detachment however most people fail to have it checked.
If anyone finds that there vision has faded or blocked completely in any part of their vision, this may mean that the tear has progressed to a retinal detachment and must be seen to immediately as an delay can result in loss of sight especially if it reaches the macula in the retina.
If these symptoms are experienced an eye exam must be made to investigate this matter further, this will normally be referred to an opthalmologist (eye specialist) to investigate and treat the condition.
