Retinal Detachment Repair
Retinal detachment repair is urgent ophthalmic treatment to reattach the neurosensory retina to the back wall of the eye after it separates from its normal position. Timely assessment and treatment are critical to preserve vision. The surgical approach depends on the type and extent of detachment, the location of retinal tears, whether the macula is involved, lens status, and overall eye health.

Warning Signs That Need Urgent Eye Assessment
Retinal detachment is usually painless. A sudden onset of flashes, new floaters, or a shadow in the visual field requires urgent evaluation by an ophthalmologist or vitreoretinal specialist to prevent irreversible vision loss.
- A sudden shower or burst of new floaters, appearing as dark spots, cobwebs, or specks drifting across vision
- Frequent flashes of light (photopsia), particularly noticeable in peripheral vision or dim lighting
- A dark shadow, veil, or curtain spreading across part of the visual field from the periphery toward the centre
- Sudden or progressive blurring, visual distortion (metamorphopsia), or central vision loss
- Loss of peripheral (side) vision corresponding to the detached area of the retina
