Retinal Detachment Surgery at Quironsalud University Hospital in Madrid, Spain

Retina is the medium that uses the optic nerve to send visual messages to the brain. This light-sensitive nerve tissue layer can get separated from the other layers of the eye and this condition is called retinal detachment. If you develop a tear in the retina, then this condition can appear. However, the situation can turn worse causing permanent damage depending on how much the retina and whether the macula (center of the retina) becomes detached. Retinal detachment may lead to poor vision, which may restrict enough vision that you need to read or drive using the affected eye.
