A retinal detachment is a vital disease as it may head to blindness. This happens when liquefied vitreous enters through retinal tears and isolates the retina, so, causing a retinal detachment which makes the photoreceptor cells of the retina crucial for ability to see and loses blood supply and causing it to die off next.

Some patients have commented that they have been seeing floaters and flash lights and think if this is one of the indication of a retinal tear. Floaters are actually shadows of opacities in the vitreous cavity thrown onto and appreciated by the retina. These kind of floaters have been described by patients in all forms and dimensions and is more straightforwardly noticed in areas of bright illumination, markedly against a plain light coloured background.

One technique to heal retinal tears is by undertaking laser eye surgery which would normally takes about 15-20 minutes or eye surgeries like linoff's balloon, pneumatic retinopexy, scleral buckling surgery which is up to the patient's choice. Some other famous eye curing that Total Eyecare center deals are cataract operation as well as treatments for diabetic retinopathy and age related macular degeneration.
