Retinal detachment

In retinal detachment, intraocular fluid infiltrates between the retina and the wall of the retina as it tears.

As a result of the shrinkage of the vitreous fluid filling the inside of the eyeball, this liquid in the gel consistency is separated from the rear wall of the eyeball. This is called posterior vitreous detachment. During the formation of posterior vitreous detachment may occur in some cases ripped in the nerve layer called retina. Symptoms of retinal tear are almost identical to the posterior vitreous detachment referred to in the previous section. After retinal tears, the intraocular fluid passes through this tear to the wall between the retina and the underlying wall and causes the so-called retinal detachment.
