      What is retinal detachment

The retina, the thin layer of tissue at the back of the eye that processes visual information, can tear away from its normal position in retinal detachment, a dangerous eye disorder. If treatment is not received, this separation may impair the retina's capacity to communicate visual information to the brain, resulting in vision issues or perhaps irreversible blindness.

Retinal detachment types include:

1. Rhegmatogenous Detachment: This is the most prevalent kind, in which the retina detaches due to a tear or hole that lets fluid from the inside of the eye leak underneath.

2. Tractional Detachment: This happens when the retina is pulled away from the underlying tissue by scar tissue, which is frequently caused by diseases like diabetic retinopathy.

The phenomenon known as "exudative detachment" happens when fluid seeps into the retina from aberrant

Eye floaters are small, shadowy shapes or spots that appear to float in your field of vision. They are usually more noticeable when looking at a plain background, such as a clear sky or a white wall. Floaters can vary in appearance, ranging from tiny specks to larger, thread-like structures or cobweb-like shapes.

What Causes Eye Floaters?

Floaters are caused by tiny clumps or strands of gel-like substance (vitreous humor) inside the eye. The vitreous humor is the clear, gel-like material that fills the space between the lens and the retina. As we age, the vitreous humor can shrink or change consistency, causing it to pull away from the retina.
