Retinal Detachment Surgery
Urgent specialist care for retinal tear, shadow and sudden vision loss.
Retinal detachment is a serious eye condition where the retina separates from its normal position. It may cause sudden floaters, flashes, side shadow or vision loss and requires urgent specialist attention.
Overview
The retina must remain attached to the back of the eye to function properly. When it detaches, the affected retina cannot work normally, and vision can become permanently damaged if treatment is delayed.
Dr. Md. Mominul Islam provides urgent specialist evaluation for retinal tear, retinal detachment, vitreous changes and sudden vision-threatening symptoms. His care focuses on rapid diagnosis, risk explanation and appropriate surgical planning or referral where needed.
Key Symptoms
- Sudden new floaters
- Flashes of light
- Dark shadow in side vision
- Curtain-like vision loss
- Sudden blurred vision
- Reduced vision in one eye
Diagnosis & Evaluation
Diagnosis usually involves dilated retina examination to identify retinal tear, hole, detachment or vitreous traction. If the retina is not clearly visible, ultrasound or other imaging may be advised.
Retinal detachment evaluation is time-sensitive. Early detection helps determine the type, location, severity and urgency of treatment.
Treatment & Care Options
Treatment may include laser, cryotherapy, pneumatic retinopexy, scleral buckle, vitrectomy or other retina surgical procedures depending on the type and stage of detachment.
Dr. Mominul helps patients understand urgency, surgical options, follow-up requirements and realistic visual expectations based on the condition of the retina and timing of treatment.
