  https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/retinal-detachment/symptoms-causes/syc-20351344

  Retinal detachment is an emergency situation in which the thin layer of tissue at the back of the eye, called the retina, pulls away from its usual position. […] Retinal detachment symptoms often include flashes and floaters in your vision. […] Contacting an eye doctor, called an ophthalmologist, right away can help save your vision. […] See a healthcare professional right away if you have any symptoms of retinal detachment. This condition is an emergency that can cause lasting vision loss. […] If a tear develops in the retina, fluid can get in underneath that tear and just lift the retina off like wallpaper off a wall and that’s a retinal detachment. […] It’s especially important to have a dilated eye exam within days of noticing new floaters or changes in vision.

  Retinal detachment diagnosis generally begins with a comprehensive eye exam. Some people may seek an eye exam due to detached retina or retinal tear symptoms. However, asymptomatic cases might only be identified during regular eye visits. Since some cases of retinal detachment may not show symptoms, it is important to have annual eye exams to screen for retinal and other eye concerns. […] During the exam, your eye doctor may first evaluate the front part of your eye through a slit-lamp examination. They may also assess your visual acuity, color vision, eye pressure and other factors. Your doctor will then place special eye drops in your eyes to dilate (widen) your pupils. This helps them see your retina and determine if a detachment or other damage may have occurred. […] Once your eyes are dilated, your eye doctor may perform a fundoscopic exam, or ophthalmoscopy, to evaluate the back part of your eye (fundus). One or more of the following techniques may be used: Direct ophthalmoscopy, Indirect ophthalmoscopy, Slit-lamp ophthalmoscopy.

  Retinal detachments (RDs) constitute a severe ocular condition that can lead to permanent vision loss. […] Prompt diagnosis and treatment are essential to avoid significant morbidity associated with RD. This activity outlines the evaluation and management of retinal detachments and highlights the role of the interprofessional team in evaluating and treating patients with this condition. […] Any patient with suspected RD should undergo a dilated fundoscopic examination with an indirect ophthalmoscope and indentation by an ophthalmologist or optometrist. Other modalities to assist in the diagnosis of RD include ultrasound, CT (computed tomography) scan, and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging). […] Management of RRD and TRD is typically surgical. Exudative macular detachments usually have nonsurgical management. The recommendation includes having the patient work with a retinal specialist or an ophthalmologist with additional training in the evaluation and surgical treatment of the posterior portion of the eye.
