Question

How is retinal detachment caused? I have retinal detachment and am unclear about the cause and treatment.

Answer

Hello, the main causes of retinal detachment are usually due to trauma or excessive eye strain. This condition is common in middle-aged or elderly individuals, often accompanied by myopia and usually affects both eyes sequentially. In children, retinal atrophy can progress rapidly if not treated promptly and correctly, which may cause significant harm to the child. Therefore, parents should pay close attention to their child’s condition and seek treatment in a timely manner.
