Retinal detachment with retinal break - what does this mean
Retinal detachment with retinal break occurs when the retina, a light-sensitive layer of tissue lining the inner surface of the eye, separates from the back of the eye due to a tear or hole in the retina. this can cause vision loss and if left untreated can lead to permanent vision loss.
What happens during the disease - retinal detachment with retinal break
Retinal detachment with retinal break is caused by a tear or hole in the retina that allows fluid to pass from the vitreous cavity to the space between the retina and the choroid. this causes the retina to separate from the choroid and lift away from its normal position. the fluid accumulation under the retina can cause it to further detach from the choroid, leading to a retinal break. if left untreated, the retinal detachment can lead to permanent vision loss.
