Detached Retina Claims

Signs of a detached retina can include the sudden appearance or a sudden growth in number of floaters (dots and lines), sudden blurred vision or flashes of light or a dark curtain or shadow that moves across a person’s vision. The risk of permanent vision loss increases the longer symptoms go untreated.

Retinal detachment can be diagnosed by way of retinal examination, whereby a detailed view of the retina and back of the eye will be examined, if a retinal hole, tear, or detachment is shown, surgery will be needed urgently following diagnosis of the detached retina to prevent permanent vision loss.
