What is Retinal Detachment? Retinal detachment occurs when a hole develops in the retina and fluid builds up between the retinal lining and the blood vessels that nourish it. The retina pulls away or detaches from the back of the eye. This is an urgent condition that can spread and damage sight. This can be associated with: C weak areas or holes in the retina C nearsightedness C retinal detachment in the other eye C previous cataract surgery C injury Signs of retinal detachment may include: C flashes of light C a dark curtain covering vision C sudden onset of many floaters, like there are lots of small spots or webs in your sight
