RETINAL DETACHMENT: Retina gets detached from the underlying retinal pigment epithelium which leads to sudden loss of vision. Patients may experience floaters and flashes. Surgery is the only treatment option.

DIABETIC RETINOPATHY: Caused by diabetes mellitus. If someone has uncontrolled diabetes for a long duration, the tiny capillaries start to leak fluid into the retina which leads to diminution of vision. Early detection of diabetic retinopathy leads to better visual outcomes. That is why it is very essential to have a regular retina check-up for all diabetics.
