Detached Retinas

A common misconception is that most retinal detachments result from injuries. The truth is that a fluid buildup behind the retina is the most common factor responsible for detached retinas.

There are a few options available for treating detached retinas. If the retina has not been completely detached and is only torn, it can be repaired with laser therapy and cryotherapy to prevent a full detachment. For fully detached retinas, treatments include:

• Scleral Buckling
• Pneumatic Retinopexy
• Vitrectomy

With the advance surgical options available today, over 90% of retinal re-attachments are successful in restoring vision.
