Retinal Detachment. You cannot prevent most cases of retinal detachment. But having routine eye exams is important so that your eye doctor can look for signs that you might be more likely to have a retinal detachment. Some eye injuries can damage the retina and cause detachment. You can reduce your risk of these types of injuries if you:
A detached retina is a tear or dislocation of the eyeâs back layer of light-sensitive cells and nerve endings. This can be caused by a severe blow, but it is more commonly the result of a shrinking of the vitreous inside the eyeball, which may occur with aging. Severe shortsightedness is a risk factor, as is diabetes. Retinal detachment also occurs in about 3 percent of people who have undergone cataract surgery. It is essential to seek treatment immediately, since a detached retina can cause complete loss of vision. Go to the nearest emergency room or ophthalmologist.
