What Causes a Detached Retina and What are your Treatment Options?

Detachment of the retina from the outer supportive layer of the eye is a very serious condition. It is caused by a tear in the retina that allows the retina to separate from the eye wall.  It is usually an emergency procedure when the tear is large or when the detachment does not involve the macula. In all cases it needs to be repaired.
