![]() When a small hole or tear occurs, fluid from the eye can seep into the space between the retina and the back of the eye, which peels the retina away further. Retinal detachment usually begins with a retinal tear or hole in the retina. Retinal detachment can also be caused by a direct injury to the eye, but this is less common. Retinal detachment is most often the result of the retina becoming thinner and more brittle with age and pulling away from the underlying blood vessels. This can occur in the whole eye (or eyes), or just part of the eye so it appears as if someone has pulled a curtain over part of your vision. When retinal detachment occurs it usually results in sudden blindness. There are other causes for these symptoms too, but it is important to be checked out by an eye specialist immediately to identify whether a detached retina is the cause or not.
