Recognise warning signs early and support healing after repair.
Self-care cannot reattach a retina; sudden flashes, new floaters or a shadow in vision need same-day eye care.
Seal retinal tears before they progress and manage the eye after surgery.
Laser or freezing is effective for tears caught early but cannot repair most established detachments.
Reattach the retina and close all breaks to preserve as much vision as possible
Needed for nearly all symptomatic detachments and ideally done within days, especially while central vision is intact; international patients should not delay urgent surgery to travel and must plan no flying while a gas bubble is in the eye.
Monitor small, stable detachments or repaired retinas for any change.
Only suitable when a specialist confirms the detachment is small, long-standing, symptom-free and not progressing.
