RETINAL DETACHMENT
Have you ever experienced a sudden change in vision? This is quite common and can represent a myriad of problems.
One of the possible causes is retinal detachment which can lead to vision loss and is deemed an emergency — this problem needs to be addressed with emergency surgery. If you suddenly develop floaters, flashing lights in your vision, blurry vision, side vision (where you develop a blind spot in the center of your vision) or develop a curtain-like shadow over your field of vision — contact an eye doctor, called an ophthalmologist, right away to help save your vision.
