๐จ RETINAL TEAR & DETACHMENT: Know the Warning Signs ๐จ
Sudden flashes of light, a shower of new floaters, or a dark curtain over your vision? These could be signs of a retinal tear or detachmentโa serious medical emergency that requires immediate attention.
What happens: A retinal tear is a small break in the retina that, if left untreated, can progress to a retinal detachment where the retina pulls away from the back of the eye. Without prompt treatment, this can lead to permanent vision loss.
Treatment: At Retina & Vitreous Consultants of Wisconsin, we routinely perform microincisional vitrectomy, an advanced surgical technique that is the gold standard for treating retinal detachments and other serious retinal conditions. This minimally invasive procedure allows for faster recovery and excellent outcomes.
Don't waitโcall immediately if you experience any of these symptoms. We offer 24/7 emergency care because when it comes to retinal detachments, every minute counts.
