A member asked:

Retina folds. how are they caused and is there any treatment?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Retinal specialist: Retinal folds sometimes occur spontaneously and do not lead to vision changes. Other times they can be from traction within the eye or sometimes from external pressure outside of the eye. An examination either by a retinal specialist or ophthalmologist can give your expected prognosis and treatment options.

Dr Parvez and another doctor agreed
