the layman explanation of retinal detachment

ok... for the general public... nicelegs senseh will attempt to explain how the retina got detached... knn.. not easy ok.. given the shallow knowledge i have of this condition....

ok.. so how to get this condition... inside the eye we have this jelly like substance call.. the jelly.. ok moving on...the retinal is the light sensitive layer of tissue(i think) at the back of the inside of the eye... and its attached to the jelly... so.. the jelly strinks(it strinks all the time) and in some cases.. the jelly is very sticky wit the retinal... so the jelly pulls the retinal (or strips of retinal) away from the eye wall... fluid gets into the hole and there you have it.. you cant see...

well.. if you cannot get wat im saying here.. just think of wallpaper.. those old kind tat is falling of the wall.. its something like tat...

the point is.. if left untreated... the macula could be affected and there goes the vision....

ok so here' nicelegs' 2 cents worth on retinal detachment...
