Retina Surgeries

Retina Surgeries

Retinal Detachment

• More commonly occur in people with high degree of shortsightedness and those having significant eye injuries.
• Symptoms are flashes, sudden increase in floaters and seeing gradually enlarging shadow.
• Immediate medical attention is required.

Floaters

• Black spots or webs that appear to be floating in vision.
• They are usually due to normal degeneration of vitreous (gel-like substance inside eyeball). Such degeneration is common and harmless.
• However, sudden increase in number of floaters may be a symptom of retinal detachment. Immediate attention by ophthalmologist is necessary.
