Retinal Detachment treatment in Tuxtla Gutierrez

Retinal detachment is an ocular emergency in which the retina, the light-sensitive layer located at the back of the eye, separates from the tissues that support and nourish it.

Why act quickly: When the retina detaches, it stops working properly in that area, and addressing the problem without delay helps preserve vision.

Common symptoms: Sudden appearance of flashes of light, a shower of spots or floating "floaters," or the sensation of a shadow or curtain covering part of the field of vision.

Which specialist treats it? The ophthalmologist, and in particular the one who specializes in the retina, is the right professional to evaluate it. With any of these visual signs, it is worth seeking an evaluation immediately, since this is a situation that cannot wait.
