Retinal Detachment occurs when the retina is separated from the back of the eye from the fluid beneath it. Most detachments begin in the periphery. A shadow may be noted but central (reading) vision is initially good. With time, the detachment may progress to involve the macula and central vision will be lost. With early diagnosis and treatment, retinal detachments may be repaired by a gas bubble (pneumatic retinopexy), sclera buckle or vitrectomy surgery, and excellent vision may be restored.
