Any advice for someone with vistreous detachment /retinal detachment?

Retinal detachment: Vitreous detachment from the retina causes floaters & traction on the retina causes retinal tears with flashes in vision. Laser helps to prevent the tear from progressing to a retinal detachment as fluid flows though untreated tears and the retina falls off the back of your eye-like wallpaper coming off a wall: sensed as a veil in your side vision then with central vision loss. It is painless.

It depends: Vitreous detachment and retinal detachment are two very different entities. A vitreous detachment is an age-related breakdown of the jelly-like gel in the back of the eye. This is a normal process that can lead to floaters. It can also lead to a retinal tear and detachment. A retinal detachment is more ominous and can lead to vison loss. Best advice is to seek care from a retina specialist.
