Retinal
detachment is a condition of retinal neurosensory structure retina from
underlying supporting structure that is Retinal Pigment Epithelium
(RPE). If not treated promptly, retinal detachment may cause visual impairment to permanent blindness.
"The type of retina regmatogen ablation (preceded by retinal tear) is the most cases," said Director of Primasana Hospital Tanjung Priok, Dr. Cosmos O Mangunsong SpM when met at his office some time ago.
Cosmos says there are several factors that can cause the risk of retinal detachment to be higher in a person. These risk factors include a collision history, advanced age and a high minus in the eye.
Higher minuses and old age cause the retina to become thinner and thus more susceptible to tearing. "We say the minus height is above minus 4," continued Cosmos.
One of the earliest symptoms of retinal detachment is the appearance of floaters in the field of view. This floater looks like a shadow, a mosquito to a worm flying in the field of view. In contrast to floaters caused by lack of sleep, floaters that become symptoms of retinal detachment usually will not disappear even though the eyes have been rested and taken to bed.
