How Ophthalmologists Diagnose and Treat Retinal Detachment
If retinal detachment is suspected, ophthalmologists use:
🔬 Dilated eye exams
📸 Imaging tests (OCT, ultrasound)
Treatment depends on severity:
🔧 Laser therapy or cryotherapy for small tears
🧵 Scleral buckle surgery or vitrectomy for larger detachments
Prompt treatment can save sight. Never delay if symptoms appear!

Floaters vs. Flashes: What’s Normal and What’s Dangerous?
We all see floaters or flashes sometimes—but when are they a problem?
✅ Normal: Occasional small floaters that move when you shift your eyes.
⚠️ Dangerous: Sudden increase in floaters, flashes of light, or a dark shadow in your vision.
These may signal a retinal tear or detachment. Don’t wait—see your ophthalmologist right away.
