What are the symptoms of a retinal tear?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Visual changes: When the retina tears (usually leading to retinal detachment) you will experience light flashes and streaks even with the eyes shut, large quantities of floaters, a pattern of veins like the veins on a leaf in your view and a greying out of the vision. As it advances the vision drop it is not painful so that is not a clue. If you have any or all of these, you need to see an ophthalmologist pronto.
