Retinal Detachment
Retinal detachment occurs when the retina separates from its underlying tissue, leading to potential vision loss. Immediate medical attention is crucial to prevent permanent damage. Symptoms include sudden floaters, flashes of light, and a shadow over the visual field. Retinal detachment can result from injury, ageing, or diabetic retinopathy.
