RETINA DETACHMENT: Early diagnosis can help correct it with laser treatment;otherwise it means surgery.
Doctors advise you to get your retina checked –
Power between -1 to -5: once a year
Power between -5 to -15: every six months.
Those motes that suddenly appear in your field of vision are ubiquitous enough to make most people dismiss it but take care-it could be your retina pulling away from blood vessels- the condition known as retina detachment and causing loss of vision.
One of the main cause is MYOPIA-short sightedness.Trauma and some intraocular procedure can also cause it. Untreated diabetes can also cause retinal detachment.
Detect it early enough and it can be corrected-with a success rate as high as 90%. So, get your retina checked…especially if you have/exposed to-conditions that may cause it…!!
