The acute retinal detachment is a ophthalmic emergency.
It must be treated as soon as possible, even if just should be the weekend or a holiday.
When symptoms such as flashes, Rußregen or a black curtain, you must immediately consult an ophthalmologist. Do not wait!
The retinal detachment must always be treated with surgery - treatment options are a Netzhautlaserung, the attachment of the retina with a Kältesone (Retinocryopexie), the attaching of a seal or a silicone band (cerclage) on the eye.
Another modern method is the internal tamponade of the eye with air, specific gases (SF6, C2F6 or C3F8) or high-viscosity silicone oils at the Pars plana vitrectomy (vitreous surgery).
With this method you can also remove unwanted clouding of the vitreous or bleeding gently into the vitreous. The following is a short animation of the principle of vitrectomy, which, like the cataract surgery can be performed as an outpatient.
