(Eye) Detachment of the retina from the back of the eye, leading to partial visual loss. Special Diagnostics: retinoscopic exam.

Separation of the inner layer of the retina from the outer layer, resulting in loss of retinal function.

scar tissue can develop on some damaged blood vessels. This can contract if left untreated, causing pressure on the retina and eventually detaching the retina from the back of the eye.

see detachment, retinal (RD)

occurs when the retina separates from the rear wall of the eye. Vision loss occurs at these detached areas.

A blinding eye defect, separation of the retina from the underlying tissue; can be part of CEA or may result from head trauma.

Occurs when the retina become separated from the choroids layer. This separation seriously damages blood vessels and nerves resulting in blindness.

visual impairment resulting from the retina becoming separated from the choroid in the back of the eye; treated by photocoagulation

a condition in which the main part of the retina becomes separated from the pigment epithelium

a separation of the retina (which is the nerve cell layer) from the outer layers of the eye

a serious and sight-threatening event

a serious condition and requires surgery to correct

a serious condition and should always be considered an emergency

a serious condition and usually warrants surgical intervention

a serious condition whereby the retina of the eye detaches from its normal position from the back wall of the eye

a very serious condition that should receive prompt treatment

a very serious problem and should you see flashes of light, floaters or curtains, see an ophthalmologist immediately

a very serious problem that almost always causes blindness if left untreated

a very serious problem that almost always causes blindness unless it is treated

a very serious problem that occurs when the retina is pulled away from its normal position in the back of the eye

separation of the inner sensory layer of the retina to the outer epithelium (outer surface of eyeball) which can lead to blurred vision, light flashes, loss of visual acuity, etc. Individuals with skeletal dysplasias involving connective tissue are usually monitored closely for this complication, as repair may be possible.

When the retina has pulled away from the underlying layers of the inner eye.

A pulling away of the retina from its normal position lining the back of the eye. Can be caused by trauma or from a vitreous detachment

This occurs when a part of the retina detaches from the choroid, causing it to lose contact with one of its primary sources of nutrition - resulting in loss of vision.

The falling away of the retina from its correct position at the back of the eye, which leads to a defect in the field of vision and ultimately loss of vision.

(RD) Separation of the neurosensory retina from the underlying retinal pigment epithelium. Can occur with or without trauma.

A condition in which the retina moves away from its original location as the internal lining of the eye. The condition must be treated as quickly as possible, as detachment interferes with retinal function.

Some drugs used to treat CMV retinitis, such as intraocular implants or injections, can cause a portion of the retina to separate from the inner wall of the eye. If left untreated, retinal detachment can lead to vision loss.

Separation of the sensory retina from its underlying, supportive, and nourishing retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells. Disrupts vision. Usually requires immediate surgical repair. Visit the National Eye Institute Web site for more information.

separation of retina from choroid

separation of the retina from the epithelium layer and from blood supply.

a condition in which a layer of the retina separates from the underlying epithelium, allowing vitreous fluid to seep behind it. The condition may lead to loss of vision.

The separation of the sensory layer from the pigment layer of the retina.

Condition where the retina is torn from the back of the eye. Requires immediate attention to prevent blindness. Click HERE for more info.

The retina is a thin tissue on the back part of the eye. The retina can break away from the back of the eye resulting in the loss of sight. Retinal detachments can happen as a result of a blow to the eye or head. They can also happen for unknown reasons. Individuals who are highly near sighted are at an increased risk for retinal detachment, and they should avoid contact sports or other activities that would put them at risk for sustaining an injury. If treated quickly, the retina can be reattached with only minimal loss of sight.

A condition in which the retina separates from the inner wall of the eye. Go to Top

A condition in which a portion of the retina separates from the inner wall of the eye. If left untreated, it can lead to vision loss. Some treatments for CMV retinitis, such as intraocular implants or injections, can cause retinal detachment.

Condition where the retina separates from the choroid.

Separation of sensory retina from underlying pigment epithelium, disrupts visual cell structure. Disturbs vision.

A condition in which the retina separates from the back of the eye. A retinal detachment is a vision-threatening condition that can result in permanent vision loss if not treated immediately. Symptoms of a retinal detachment are visual disturbances that may manifest as flashes of light or the appearance of a “curtain” coming down over the eye and blocking a portion of the patientâ€(tm)s vision.

this is usually caused by the presence of a hole or tear in the retina, which allows fluid to collect under the retina, thereby separating it from the intermediate coat of the eyeball.

occurs when the sensory retina becomes separated (detached) from the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and the wall of the eye. Fluid from the eye flows into the space between the two layers, further separating them. (Ref: WebMD)

separation of the retina from its attachments to the back of the eyeball

See the Retinal Detachment FAQ.

This occurs when the retina separates from its normal place on the back wall of the eye. The retina then has a decreased blood supply, and will degenerate and lose its ability to function if it remains detached.

Separation of the neurosensory retina from the underlying retinal pigment epithelium. Subjectively experienced as a dark curtain across the field of vision.

A separation of the retina from its connection at the back of the eye. The separation usually results from a tear in the retina.

Separation of the retina from its attachment to the back of the eye.

a condition in which a portion of the retina becomes separated from the inner wall of the eye. It can result from retinal disease such as CMV retinitis and lead to vision loss.

Retinal detachment is a disorder of the eye in which the retina peels away from its underlying layer of support tissue. Initial detachment may be localized, but without rapid treatment the entire retina may detach, leading to vision loss and blindness. It is a medical emergency.
