Retinal Detachment
Gold Coast
Emergency Eye Treatment
Pacific Eye Clinic provides treatment and surgery to correct retinal detachment. Our eye clinic in Southport on the Gold Coast is equipped with everything needed to provide prompt, effective treatment before the issue worsens.
Retinal detachment is a condition in which the light capturing retina is separated from its underlying layers, resulting in a loss of vision in the area that is detached. This detachment actually separates the retina from blood vessels that provide oxygen and nourishment to the eye.
The longer the issue goes untreated, the greater your risk of permanent vision loss is. That’s why it’s imperative you book an appointment with our team on the Gold Coast as soon as you can.
If you suspect you are experiencing symptoms of retinal detachment, such as new flashing lights, floating spots or a “curtain like” defect in your vision, book an appointment with our team immediately.
Symptoms of Retinal Detachment
Retinal detachment itself is often painless. However, there are a few symptoms to look out for, including:
- The appearance of tiny specks floating throughout your vision
- Flashes of light in one or both eyes (photopsia)
- Blurred vision
- Gradually reduced side (peripheral) vision
- A curtain-like shadow over your visual field
