retinal detachment

Retinal detachment occurs in people who are very short of vision, or who have had direct eye trauma, and it can be the result of previous eye surgeries.

The retina in the back of the eye is one of its most important parts, as it sends electrical signals to the brain, which enables vision, and any defect that affects the retina and leads to its separation and its distance from the inner wall of the eye results in the death of neurons, which leads to a loss of vision .
