  It is really terrible to get retinal detachment which may cause the blindness if you don't treat it as soon as possible. The retinal detachment makes the retina in your eyes get off which may cause the hinder for your eyes work in order. Usually it is the people with high prescription that can have the retinal detachment easily. The strong knock may cause it too.

  Well, of course, it is dangerous to have retinal detachment. Generally speaking, the highest risk of retinal detachment is related to the blindness. In other words, if you suffer from the retinal detachment, it is possible for you to lose vision. Also, you should know that there are many factors which can lead to retinal detachment, such as eye injury, severe high blood pressure. But on the other hand, most people with detached retina risk factors will not develop a detached retina. And it is possible that people without risk factors will develop a retinal detachment. If you have some questions about retinal detachments, you can talk with your doctor. Anyway, just be careful about it.

You might have these signs, such as a dramatic drop in your vision, blurred vision, lowered eye pressure,etc. Anyway, if you get retinal detachment, your vision is almost ruined and if you have any bad feelings, you had better get an eye exam and take some precautions.

  If you think there are some flashes of light like fireworks going off in your side vision and when you try to look to the flashes, you can't look directly at them, because they move in the direction you try to look at. They may or may not be accompanied by floating spots in your vision. Floaters, as they are called, can be anything from the condensing of the vitreous humor within the eye to a total detachment. Some people actually see a wavy line in their vision, half their vision disappear or lose total vision in the eye which detached. If you experience any of these symptoms or think you are experiencing any of these symptoms, see your eye doctor immediately and he can rule out whether you had a detachment. Emergency surgery can save your eye, but waiting can cause you to lose most of your vision in the affected eye.
