Retinal detachments are treated with surgery that may require the patient to stay in the hospital.
Retinal detachment, separation of the neurosensory retina from the underlying retinal pigment epithelium, is a sight threatening condition that is considered one of the few ocular emergencies.
Surgeons involved in retinal detachment surgery should be aware that visual function based on acuity testing may continue to improve in the long term, most notably in those with the following patient characteristics: younger age, no or mild myopia (less than -5.00 D), and shorter duration of macular detachment (30 days or less).
Retinal detachment is the separation of the retina from the choroid, a membrane dense with blood vessels that is located between the retina and the sclera ("white" of the eye).
There are three types of retinal detachment: rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, tractional retinal detachment, and exudative retinal detachment.
Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment is the most common type and occurs as a result of one or more small tears or holes in the retina.
