A member asked:
Can you tell me about experiencing a retina tear?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Most people with a retinal tear will experience new floaters and flashes in their vision. A few retinal tear patients will be asymptomatic. Retinal tears have a high risk of progressing to a retinal detachment, a much more serous eye problem.
