Retinal detachment
At Clarity Eye Clinic we offer ophthalmologists in Tijuana and state-of-the-art technology to provide you with an accurate diagnosis and effective treatment for a Retinal detachment.
Immediate attention to save your vision
Retinal detachment is an eye emergency that cannot wait. When not treated promptly, it can cause irreversible damage and even permanent vision loss.
At Clarity Eye Clinic, we understand the importance of prompt attention, which is why we are prepared to assess you immediately and provide you with the appropriate treatment in the shortest possible time.
What happens when the retina detaches?
El Retinal detachment occurs when a thin layer located on the inner surface of the eye separates from its normal position. This structure is essential for vision, as it is responsible for capturing light and sending the information to the brain to form images.
When the retina detaches, it stops functioning properly, causing vision changes that can progress rapidly. Without timely treatment, the damage can become irreversible.
Warning signs related to retinal detachment
Detecting symptoms early can save your vision. Some patients describe:
- Sudden appearance of flashes of light
- Sudden increase in “floaters”
- Sensation of a shadow or curtain in the vision
- Decreased visual field
- Blurred or distorted vision
If you experience any of these symptoms, seek immediate evaluation with one of our ophthalmologists in Tijuana.
Main factors that increase the risk
Although it can occur in anyone, there are factors that increase the risk of developing Retinal detachment:
Often the problem starts with small tears or holes that can be detected early. An annual checkup can prevent serious complications.

Ophthalmologists in Tijuana specializing in surgery
The goal of the treatment is to put the retina back in place and close the small tears that caused the detachment.
Depending on each case, the specialist will choose the most appropriate procedure to achieve the best results:
Vitrectomy
The natural gel inside the eye (vitreous) is removed and temporarily replaced with gas or silicone oil. This helps keep the retina in its correct position while it heals.
Laser or cryopexy (retinopexy)
Retinal tears are sealed to prevent detachment from happening again.
Scleral cerclage
A small silicone band or sponge is placed around the eye, which exerts slight pressure, helping the retina to relax and stay in place.
Retinal surgery with advanced technology
Our team of ophthalmologists in Tijuana has extensive experience treating retinal detachment, providing you with timely care using state-of-the-art technology. Surgery is performed under local anesthesia in most cases, making the procedure comfortable and painless; it typically lasts approximately 1 to 2 hours, depending on the individual case.
What to expect after treatment?
After surgery, the recovery process is crucial to achieving the best results.
- It may be necessary to maintain a specific head position to promote proper recovery.
- It is important to attend your follow-up medical check-ups and closely follow your specialist's instructions.
- Vision recovery can be progressive, which is why each step is part of the process.
