A retinal detachment is a crucial disease as it may direct to blindness. This strikes when liquefied vitreous enters through retinal tears and separates the retina, hence, causing a retinal detachment which constructs the photoreceptor cells of the retina crucial for eyesight and loses blood supply and causing it to die off afterwards.

Some patients have commented that they have been seeing floaters and flash lights and reflect if this is one of the appearance of a retinal tear. Floaters are actually shadows of opacities in the vitreous cavity hurl onto and collected by the retina. These type of floaters have been described by patients in all forms and amount and is more simply viewed in subjects of bright illumination, remarkably against a full light coloured environment.

One manner to treat 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 selection.
