Symptoms of Retinal Detachment

A Retinal Detachment is often accompanied by one or more of the following symptoms:

• Flashes of light that may occur in your field of vision toward the outermost periphery.

• A sudden increase in the number of floaters in your vision and possibly even a ring of floaters or “hairs” in your vision.

• A sense of a “shadow” in your peripheral vision that may progress toward the center of your vision.

• A sensation of a “curtain” or a “veil” being drawn over your vision.

• Straight lines, such as the edge of a door or walls, appear to be curved.

• In extreme cases of Retinal Detachment you may experience a loss of central vision.
