Q. Is it easy to detach your retina?
Doctor Answer is medically reviewed by SecondMedic medical review team.
No, it is not easy to detach your retina. Retinal detachment is a serious and complex medical condition that occurs when the retina, a thin layer of tissue located in the back of the eye, separates from its normal position. It can occur spontaneously or due to an injury and if left untreated can cause permanent vision loss. It usually requires immediate medical attention and may require surgery to repair the damage caused by retinal detachment. Depending on the severity of your condition, treatments such as pneumatic retinopexy (using gas bubbles), laser photocoagulation (using laser light) or scleral buckle procedure (placing a band around eyeball) might be recommended by your doctor in order to reattach the retina successfully.
