Retinal Tear near Naples | ||
A Retinal Tear is most commonly found along the peripheral edges of the retina. Sometimes it is referred to as a retinal break or hole. This is a serious condition, and left untreated may lead to a retinal detachment. | ||
| ||
The tear may be caused by a trauma, a pre-existing eye condition, or the normal aging process. | ||
| ||
If you notice a sudden increase in floaters, web like strings appearing in your vision, or flashes of light in the dark or a dimly lit room, these may be related to a retinal tear. You may not have any symptoms at all. | ||
| ||
A retinal tear is sometimes discovered during a routine dilated eye examination. You will need to see a retinal surgeon, to confirm and treat the diagnosis of retinal tear, break or hole. | ||
| ||
Retinal Tears require a laser procedure in the Retina Surgeon’s office to prevent a retinal detachment. | ||
| ||
There is no absolute way to prevent a retinal tear. In persons with certain underlying retinal conditions, prophylactic laser may be performed to reduce the risks. | ||
