This usually happens among people who are over 50 years old.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Trauma.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> A blow to the head or eye can cause the retina to tear as a result of sudden forces, which can pull the vitreous away from the retina or create shearing forces that damage the retina. A direct impact on the eye can also cause a sudden increase in pressure within the eye, leading to a retinal detachment.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Myopia. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">People who are extremely nearsighted are at a higher risk of retinal detachment because their eyeballs are elongated, causing the retina to become thinner and more stretched out. This can make the retina more susceptible to detaching from the back of the eye.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Diabetes.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> It is a complication of diabetes that occurs when high blood sugar levels damage the blood vessels in the retina. Over time, the damaged blood vessels can leak blood and fluid into the retina \u2014 which can cause the retina to swell and pull away from the back of the eye, leading to retina detaching.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Family history.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Individuals with genetic factors are more susceptible to retinal detachment. As such, the connective tissues that keep the retina in place may become weaker due to genetic mutation. Inherited disorders like Stickler syndrome and Marfan syndrome could also heighten the risk of retinal detachment.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Prior surgery.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Previous eye surgery can escalate the risk of retinal detachment due to changes in the structure of the eye, such as cataracts or glaucoma surgery. The use of instruments or techniques that can damage the retina \u2014 such as laser treatments or cryotherapy \u2014 are also contributing factors.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Other underlying medical conditions.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Certain medical conditions, such as central serous retinopathy, can cause serious retinal detachment.<\/span><\/li>\n<p> \t<br><\/p>\n<\/ol>\n<p><b>Types of Retinal Detachment<\/b><br><br><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are three primary <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">types of retinal detachment<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2014 rhegmatogenous, tractional, and exudative.

The fluid will leak through the tear and accumulate between the retina and the tissue beneath it to push the retina away from the back of the eye.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Tractional retinal detachment.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This type occurs when scar tissue on the retina&#8217;s surface contracts and pulls the retina away from the underlying tissue. This abnormal tissue growth happens due to a number of conditions, including diabetic retinopathy or trauma to the eye.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><b>Exudative retinal detachment.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This type occurs when fluid accumulates beneath the retina without any tear or hole in the retina.
