Posted by Accuspire on Apr 24th 2023

The Schwartz-Matsuo syndrome or rhegmatogenous retinal detachment is a condition where fluids or vitreous found in the center of your eye, accumulate underneath the retina due to a tear or a hole in it. This accumulated gel-type fluid causes the retina to pull away from the primary tissues. It is one of the most common retinal detachment types.

How Long Can a Retina Remain Detached?

Retinal detachment occurs 10 to 18 per 100000 population in the US. In such conditions, people may lose their central vision within a few hours or several days. If left untreated, rhegmatogenous retinal detachment can cause permanent blindness. It is an emergency in which the patient must visit the ophthalmologist on the same day.

What are the Symptoms?

Blurry vision, light flashes or photopsia, and sudden increase in the flow of irregular dark fluid are some of the symptoms of Retinal Detachment in the Eyes. With the advancement of retinal detachment, patients can get a veil or curtain-like feel over the eyes. Retinal detachment is curable with the help of retinal re-attachment surgery, but what is the success percentage?
