	Retinal Detachment Resource Guide [NEI Health Information]
		Retinal detachments are treated with surgery that may require the patient to stay in the hospital.
		Retinal detachment, separation of the neurosensory retina from the underlying retinal pigment epithelium, is a sight threatening condition that is considered one of the few ocular emergencies.
		Surgeons involved in retinal detachment surgery should be aware that visual function based on acuity testing may continue to improve in the long term, most notably in those with the following patient characteristics: younger age, no or mild myopia (less than -5.00 D), and shorter duration of macular detachment (30 days or less).

	Retinal Detachment - VisionChannel
		Retinal detachment is the separation of the retina from the choroid, a membrane dense with blood vessels that is located between the retina and the sclera ("white" of the eye).
		There are three types of retinal detachment: rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, tractional retinal detachment, and exudative retinal detachment.
		Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment is the most common type and occurs as a result of one or more small tears or holes in the retina.

	AllRefer Health - Retinal Detachment
		Retinal detachment is a separation of the light-sensitive membrane in the back of the eye (the retina) from its supporting layers.
		Retinal detachments are often associated with a tear or hole in the retina through which the internal fluids of the eye may leak.
		During a detachment, bleeding from small retinal blood vessels may cloud the interior of the eye, which is normally filled with vitreous fluid.

		Detachment posterior to the equator can be isolated with visual field testing, but the patient usually is unaware of a defect until it involves the posterior pole and macula.
		Direct funduscopy may detect vitreous hemorrhage and large detachment of the posterior pole, but it is inadequate for complete examination because of the lower magnification and illumination, lack of stereopsis, and limited view of the peripheral retina.
		Obvious detachment is observed as marked elevation of the retina, which appears gray with dark blood vessels that may lie in folds.

	Handbook of Ocular Disease Management - Retinal Detachment
		Exudative detachments do not generally present with photopsiae but may be associated with moderate vision loss, metamorphopsia or a visual field deficit.
		All retinal detachments involve the sensory retina dissecting from the underlying pigment epithelial layer by subretinal fluid.
		Exudative detachments are relatively rare, occurring in association with subretinal disorders that damage the RPE layer.

	Retinal Detachment (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		A retinal detachment occurs when the retina is pulled away from its normal position, lining the inside wall of the eye.
		Some retinal detachments progress so quickly that the first symptom a patient notices is loss of vision of the eye.
		Some retinal detachments require urgent or emergent surgery, while others may be postponed for a matter of days or weeks.

	InteliHealth:
		For example, if the retina detaches near the macula, the part of the eye that is responsible for the center of the visual field, then there may be a sudden, significant blurring or loss of vision.
		Although there are several types of retinal detachment, the most common one starts when a tear or hole develops in the retina, and some of the gel-like substance that fills the inside of the eye (vitreous fluid) leaks through the opening.
		People with diabetes also have a higher risk of a different type of retinal detachment as a complication of diabetic retinopathy, a family of retinal disorders thought to be related to abnormal or erratic blood sugar levels.

	Detachment
		If you are not able to detach emotionally or physically from a person, place, or thing, then you are either profoundly under its control or it is under your control.
		If you are not able to detach from another person, place, or thing, you might be powerless over this behavior which is beyond your personal control.
		If you do not detach from people, places, or things, you could be so busy trying to "control'' them that you completely divert your attention from yourself and your own needs.

	Retinal detachment
		Without treatment, retinal detachment may worsen until the retina is completely detached and unable to send information down the optic nerve to the brain.
		Detachment is caused by small tears or splits in the retina that allow fluid inside the eye to seep through and separate the retina from its underlying tissue.
		Vitrectomy is used in complicated cases of retinal detachment, or when there is a lot of blood clouding the vitreous humour.

	Retinal detachment
		Retinal detachment may be caused by trauma, advanced diabetes or an inflammatory disorder.
		If a tear or a hole is treated before detachment develops or if a retinal detachment is treated before the central part of the retina (macula) detaches, you'll probably retain much of your vision.
		Unless you undergo prompt surgery, retinal detachment will cause you to lose vision in the portion of your field of vision that corresponds to the detached part of the retina.

	MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia: Retinal detachment
		Retinal detachments are often associated with a tear or hole in the retina through which eye fluids may leak.
		The risk factors are previous eye surgery, nearsightedness, a family history of retinal detachment, uncontrolled diabetes, and trauma.
		Some detachments can be repaired by placing a gas bubble in the eye to float the retina back into place (pneumatic retinopexy), followed by laser surgery to permanently fix it in place.

	Retinal Detachment -- Topic Overview
		Retinal detachment occurs when the two layers of the retina become separated from each other and from the wall of the eye.
		The most common type of detachment occurs when a tear or hole forms in the retina, allowing fluid from the middle of the eye to flow under the retina.
		Most retinal detachment begins when the vitreous gel, the thick fluid that fills the center of the eye, shrinks and separates from the retina.

	"Detachment & Compassion In Early Buddhism" by Elizabeth Harris
		The detachment of which Buddhism speaks, therefore, is not an extreme turning away from that which normally nourishes the human body.
		In colloquial usage, to say that a person is detached can be derogatory, implying that the person is not willing to become involved with others or that he or she is neither approachable nor sympathetic.
		Therefore, far from implying lack of concern for the welfare of others, detachment from such things as sensual desires and the urge to assert dogmatic views is seen as essential to it.

	Facts About Vitreous Detachment [NEI Health Information]
		A vitreous detachment is a common condition that usually affects people over age 50, and is very common after age 80.
		Those who have a vitreous detachment in one eye are likely to have one in the other, although it may not happen until years later.
		Although a vitreous detachment does not threaten sight, once in a while some of the vitreous fibers pull so hard on the retina that they create a macular hole or lead to a retinal detachment.

		Most cases of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment are associated with a posterior vitreous separation, which is a natural part of aging.
		The duration of retinal detachment is critical to the prognosis, i.e., the longer the detachment, the worse the prognosis.
		This type of retinal detachment is most common in the advanced stages of diabetic retinopathy, known as proliferative diabetic retinopathy.

		Hemorrhagic choroidal detachment is a hemorrhage in the suprachoroidal space or within the choroid caused by the rupture of choroidal vessels.
		Postoperative hemorrhagic detachments are characterized by sudden excruciating throbbing pain with an immediate loss of vision; both symptoms are almost pathognomonic.
		Choroidal detachments are most frequently a complication of eye surgery; because patients often are malcontent, medicolegal consequences are to be expected.

	Repair of Complicated Retinal Detachment
		Retinal detachment is the movement of the sensory layer of the retina away from the outer wall of the eyeball (the outermost pigment epithelium layer).
		Retinal detachment is often associated with floaters, which are little fl flecks that float across the eye.
		To evaluate the blood vessels in the retina, a fluorescent dye (fluorescein) may be injected into the blood stream and photographed with ultraviolet light as it passes through the retina.

	How Detaching Can Be Loving For All - by: Wayland Myers, Ph.D
		Currently, I consider myself lovingly detached when I am willing and able to compassionately allow others to be different from me, to be self-directed, and to be responsible for taking care of themselves.
		Looking at the eight ways that I see detachment as being loving, I conclude that the most basic reason for practicing it is to provide an opportunity for people's lives to be improved.
		The lives of those I love may be improved because I respect their powers of self-care enough to let them have a chance to reap the potential benefits of struggling, learning and succeeding on their own.

	Retinal Detachment - AllAboutVision.com
		A retinal detachment is a serious and sight-threatening event, occurring when the retina becomes separated from its underlying supportive tissue.
		In a study of more than 1,500 LASIK patients, just four suffered retinal detachment; their pre-LASIK prescriptions ranged from -8.00 D to -27.50 D. Cataract surgery, tumors, eye disease and systemic diseases such as diabetes and sickle cell disease may also cause retinal detachments.
		A similar treatment is pneumatic retinopexy, in which a bubble of gas is injected into the vitreous humor, the transparent gel filling the eyeball in front of the retina.

	Eye Procedures > Retinal Detachment Repair -- EyeMDLink.com
		Most commonly, retinal detachment occurs as a result of a tear or hole in the retina, which develops as a result of a posterior vitreous separation (PVS).
		When a retinal detachment occurs, the detached retina begins to dysfunction, and ultimately, necrosis (death) ensues as a result if the retina is not reattached to the underlying choroid.
		In this procedure, a soft silicone band is placed around the eye, which indents the outside of the eye towards the detached retina, thereby relieving vitreous traction on the retinal hole.
