A retinal detachment occurs when the retina separates from the back of the eye. It is a medical emergency—vision loss can become permanent within days. Seek immediate care if you experience sudden floaters, flashes of light, or a shadow in your peripheral vision.

Common causes include high myopia (nearsightedness), diabetes, injury, aging, or previous eye surgery. Diabetic retinopathy is the leading cause of vision loss in working-age adults. Regular screening is critical for at-risk patients.

Retinal detachment is treated surgically using pneumatic retinopexy (gas bubble), scleral buckle, or vitrectomy depending on severity and location. Dr. Nikhil Pal will recommend the best approach during your consultation.

Diabetic retinopathy is damage to blood vessels in the retina caused by diabetes. Early stages have no symptoms, so regular eye exams for diabetic patients are essential. Treatment options include laser therapy and intravitreal injections.

Recovery varies: pneumatic retinopexy takes 2-4 weeks, scleral buckle 4-6 weeks, vitrectomy 4-8 weeks. Vision improvement is gradual. We provide detailed post-op care and frequent monitoring.
