What are the symptoms of retinal detachments?
Retinal detachment may be gradual or sudden, but it is usually accompanied by a dramatic loss of vision — partial or complete. Many people see flashes of light, floaters or the appearance of a dark or gray curtain moving across the field of vision or a wavy or watery effect in their vision. These symptoms do no always mean the retina has detached, however, if they are present, an ophthalmologist should be consulted immediately as a detachment can cause permanent vision loss.
