A member asked:
If retine detaching, would it be obvious, real blurry, flashing, etc?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Most likely: New flashes or floaters and/or loss of peripheral vision (like a curtain or veil obscuring part of the vision) require an urgent dilated retinal exam to rule out retinal detachment. On rarely can a retinal detachment be without symptoms.
