CAN RETINAL DETACHMENT BE CAUSED BY A CAR ACCIDENT?The emotional, physical and financial challenges that a person can face as a result of lost or diminished vision cannot be overstated. A loss of vision can have an impact on many aspects of daily life, including the ability to drive, read a book, go to work, and maintain general independence. Medical bills for treating an eye injury caused by a car accident can be quite high. When accident victims are unable to work due to their injuries, the situation can quickly deteriorate; however, with the assistance of a top personal injury lawyer in Dallas, you may be able to recover significant compensation.
WHAT IS A DETACHED RETINA?The retina is made up of light-sensitive thin tissue layers. The retina, as an important component of the eye, plays an important role in vision. The retina is made up of billions of unique cells that are designed to send endless nerve messages to the optic nerve, which is then forwarded to the brain, where images are produced. A severe blow, medical error, or other condition can result in a serious eye disorder in which the retina peels away from the supporting tissue, often resulting in significant vision loss or blindness.
When “flashers” and “floaters” appear suddenly, victims of early-stage retinal detachment frequently have significant warning signs. Early signs of retinal detachment include a brief flash of light, blurred vision, peripheral vision darkening, and a sensation of eye heaviness. Many of the common symptoms and signs of retinal detachment, however, do not appear right away.
When a condition is first diagnosed, it usually necessitates immediate medical treatment, which necessitates the skills of a skilled eye doctor to perform surgical procedures. If the condition is not treated as a medical emergency, the patient may lose functional vision in the eye if the macula detaches from the retina.
