Detached retina

Article Abstract:

A detached retina is very serious and almost always causes blindness unless it is treated and it occurs most often in middle-aged and older people. It requires surgery to return the retina to its correct position and there are several procedures, all of which use laser surgery or cryotherapy to seal retinal tears.
