A member asked:

Random partial vision loss in right eye. is retinal detachment always a high possibility?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It depends: Vision loss can be due to a number of factors, including retinal detachment. In iowa city, iowa you are fortunate to be close to one of the nation's top eye departments. Get evaluated and find out what the cause of your vision loss is.
