The German magazine “Jizond Bond de” indicated that the retinal detachment is one of the rare medical conditions, but it may lead to constant loss of sight if it is not treated quickly.
German doctors reported that the retinal detachment occurs when the sensitive layer of light in the retina is separated from the layer under it, which impedes the arrival of the necessary nutrition to the visual cells, and negatively affects the ability to see.
The most prominent early signs of retinal detachment include the appearance of light flashes in the dark and black points or strands that move in the field of vision, in addition to the appearance of a dark shadow that moves from the bottom of the eye to the top and a blurred or limited vision, and people with severe nearsightedness and diabetics are more likely to be injured, and the changes related to age or eye injuries may play a role in increasing risk.
The condition is usually diagnosed by an ophthalmologist using a direct examination of the retina, and experts confirm that the speed of the approach to the doctor when any of these symptoms is a decisive factor to prevent permanent damage to vision sensitivity.
Doctors note that these signs may be an indication of other problems in the eye as well, and therefore not waiting and consulting a doctor immediately remains the safest option to maintain eyesight and eye health.
