Have you noticed sudden flashes of light, floating specks, or a dark shadow moving across your vision? These could be more than minor eye disturbances—they may be warning signs of retinal detachment, a serious eye emergency that needs immediate attention.
What Is Retinal Detachment?
Retinal detachment occurs when the retina—the thin layer of tissue at the back of the eye—pulls away from its normal position. Without prompt treatment, this can lead to permanent vision loss.
Early Warning Signs:
- Sudden flashes of light (especially in peripheral vision)
- Floaters (black or gray spots that move with your eyes)
- A curtain-like shadow over part of your visual field
- A curtain-like shadow over part of your visual field
- Blurry or decreased vision
- A sense that something is “falling” in front of the eye
