Retinal Tears

Are you experiencing:

• Floaters or flashes of light? 
• Blurred or wavy vision? 
• The feeling of a veil crossing your vision? 

Retinal detachment occurs in one in 10,000 Americans each year.  The condition is most typically found in patients who are nearsighted, have undergone previous eye surgery, experienced eye trauma, or who have a family history of retinal detachments. 

Middle-aged and older individuals are at higher risk than the younger population.  The condition is also likely to recur in individuals with a previous retinal detachment.

Need Treatment to Stop Progression

Without treatment, retinal tears and detachments will not get better.  Left alone, the problem will only worsen.  If you experience any of the symptoms described above, seek the advice of your Eye Centers' professional immediately.  Read more about a torn retina and the treatment.
