Early symptoms of retinal detachment

Possible symptoms of retinal detachment: 1. Flashing lights: You may see sudden flashes of light, especially in the dark. This could be a signal that the retina is being pulled. 2. Increased floaters: You may see black spots, threads, or cloudy shapes moving in your field of vision. These are often warning signs preceding retinal detachment, as they may indicate detached materials from the retina. 3. Partial vision loss: You may feel as though a shadow or curtain is descending from the edge of your vision, blocking part of your sight. 4. Distorted vision: Shapes may appear warped, and straight lines may look curved, caused by wrinkling of the retina. 5. Sudden vision loss: Although not everyone experiences significant vision loss early on, some individuals may suddenly notice a decline in vision. Note: If you experience any of these symptoms, seek immediate medical attention.
