June 2026 Image of the Month
Our featured image in June was captured by Nicole Lopez on our OPTOS fundus camera!
This is a photo of a Retinal Detachment with Multiple Tears.
Depending on where the retinal detachment and tears are located symptoms may include:
- Sudden increase in floaters
- Flashes of Light
- A dark, curtain, shadow, or veil
- Sudden Decrease in Vision
- Distorted Vision
A Retina Specialist’s goal of treatment is to re-attach the retina to the back wall of the eye and seal the tears or holes that caused the retinal detachment. The visual results depend on each patient’s pre-operative vision and other factors that differ between individual patients. In general, when the center the retina has not detached before surgery, the post-operative vision tends to be like the pre-operative vision. If the central retina is detached prior to surgery, successful re-attachment often leads to vision improvement, though some degree of permanent vision loss may occur.
