How do you know if you have retinal detachment?

See an eye Dr: With any eye issue, i suggest you see an opthalmologist! your symptoms may include loss of vision similar to a curtain being pulled over your eye.

See an eye doctor: You may have new/worse symptoms like flashes, floaters, or partial obstruction of your vision (like a veil or curtain). The only way to know is to have a dilated retinal exam. A retina specialist is required to repair a retinal detachment. If you think you may have one, you must go immediately to the eye doctor.
