Retinal detachment with giant retinal tear, unspecified eye

Retinal detachment with giant retinal tear is a serious eye condition that can lead to permanent vision loss if not treated promptly. It occurs when the retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye, becomes separated from its underlying support tissue. This separation can occur due to a tear or hole in the retina, which allows fluid to enter and accumulate between the retina and the support tissue. Retinal detachment with giant retinal tear is a specific type of retinal detachment that involves a large tear in the retina.

Symptoms of retinal detachment with giant retinal tear can include sudden onset of flashes or floaters in the affected eye, as well as a shadow or curtain that appears to be coming down over the visual field. In some cases, there may be no symptoms at all until the detachment progresses and vision loss becomes more severe.

• Dilated

  Treatment of Retinal detachment with giant retinal tear, unspecified eye:

  Retinal detachment with giant retinal tear is a serious condition that requires immediate medical attention. It occurs when the retina, which is the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye, becomes separated from its underlying supportive tissues. This separation can cause vision loss or even blindness if left untreated. Here are some treatment options for retinal detachment with giant ret...
