<h2>What is Retinal Detachment or Detached Retina?</h2>
<p>When the retina, or the thin layer of tissue present at the back of the eye, moves away from its normal position as the vitreous <em>(thick transparent liquid between the retina and an eye lens)</em> sticks to the retina, pulls it hard, and tears it, it is called <strong>Retinal Detachment</strong> <em>or</em> <strong>Detached Retina</strong>.</p>
<p>The blood vessels that provide oxygen and nourishment to the eye get separated.</p>
<p>As a result of this separation, the vision becomes blurred, and <strong>if not treated on time, there could be a permanent loss of eyesight.</strong></p>

<h3>Causes of Retinal Detachment or Detached Retina</h3>

<p><strong>&bull; Ageing</strong><br /><strong>&bull; Family history of retinal detachment</strong><br /><strong>&bull; Previous retinal detachment in one eye</strong><br /><strong>&bull; Eye surgery, like a cataract removal</strong><br /><strong>&bull; Serious eye injury</strong><br /><strong>&bull; Other eye diseases that have affected the eyes in the past</strong><br /><strong>&bull; Eye disorders in the past including thinning of the retina (Uveitis), splitting of the retina into two parts (Retinoschisis)</strong><br /><strong>&bull; Nearsightedness</strong></p>

<h3>Retinal Detachment Treatment &ndash; Surgery for Detached Retina</h3>
<p>If you see any retinal detachment symptoms, it is important that you consult an eye doctor or retina specialist at the earliest. Most retinal detachments&nbsp;are treated and repaired by Laser Photocoagulation <em>(laser treatment for retinal detachment)</em>, but if the location or condition is difficult to be treated by laser <em>(if laser tretament for retinal detachment is not feasible)</em>, then the eye surgeon will perform cryotherapy, a surgical retinal detachment treatment or repair to place the retina at the back of the eye.</p>
<p>There are three different types of retinal detachment surgeries to fix a detached retina if laser treatment is not possible:</p>
<p><strong>1. Pneumatic Retinopexy</strong> <em>(prepare the detached retina and restore vision)</em><br /><strong>2. Scleral Buckle Procedure</strong> <em>(an element is attached to the white part of the retina and then tightened to attach the retina back)</em><br /><strong>3. Vitrectomy</strong> <em>(vitreous is removed and retina is attached with the help of surgery, restoring the vision)</em><br /> <br />At times, to complete the&nbsp;<a href="../../retinal-disease-treatment" target="_blank">retinal detachment treatment</a> or repair, laser photocoagulation, and cryotherapy procedures are used along with retinal detachment surgery.<br /> <br /><strong>The best way to treat retinal detachment is the surgical method. </strong></p>
<p>How much time the eye takes to recover from retinal detachment surgery depends on the condition of the eye during surgery and the time lapse before the treatment.</p>
<p>If the macula is not damaged and the retinal detachment treatment is done on time, then complete recovery is possible.</p>
<p>For information about Retinal Detachment treatment cost, it is suggested that you consult with Retina Specialist. Only the retina doctor can suggest further treatment of detached retina or retinal detachment repair cost after examining the patient's eye and evaluating the conditions of the eye.&nbsp;</p>
