Retinal Detachment

Retinal Detachment

Retinal detachment is a serious eye condition in which the retina—the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye—pulls away from its normal position. This separation prevents the retina from functioning properly and can cause permanent vision loss if not treated promptly. Warning signs include sudden flashes of light, a sudden increase in floaters, or the appearance of a dark curtain or shadow moving across your vision. Retinal detachment is a medical emergency that requires immediate attention. At Dr. Praveen Eye Hospital and Research Centre, we use advanced diagnostic tools and surgical techniques to reattach the retina and preserve as much vision as possible, offering urgent and specialized care for this sight-threatening condition.
