Retinal detachment occurs when the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye separates from the underlying tissue that supports and nourishes it, disrupting vision in a way that can become permanent if not treated promptly. It is considered an ophthalmic emergency because the longer the retina remains detached — particularly when the central area (macula) is involved — the greater the risk of irreversible vision loss. Risk factors include high myopia (short-sightedness), previous eye surgery such as cataract removal, eye trauma, a family history of retinal detachment, and certain conditions such as diabetic retinopathy or lattice degeneration. A thorough assessment of personal medical and ocular history, combined with specialist examination and imaging, is essential to determine the extent of detachment and guide appropriate management.
Care may include lifestyle changes, medical treatment, specialist review or a procedure, depending on the diagnosis, associated conditions and individual goals. The options below are associated with this condition in the GAF Healthcare directory.
