Retinal Detachment/Tear

What is it?

A retinal tear or detachment is a serious condition where the retina pulls away from its normal position. This can lead to permanent vision loss if not treated quickly.

Common Symptoms

Flashes of light, sudden floaters, or a shadow or curtain over vision. Seeing a spider web is also a common symptom.

Treatment Options

Treatment may include laser therapy, freezing treatment, or surgery such as vitrectomy to repair the retina. Early treatment is critical.

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it is important to be evaluated by a retina specialist. At Retina Associates PA in Jacksonville, we provide advanced diagnostic testing and personalized treatment plans to protect and preserve your vision.
