10 Causes of Retinal Detachment
Cause #5: Infection Inside The Eye
Infections such as herpes simplex, herpes zoster and others caused by pathogens can affect the eye internally, including the retina. These pathogens can lead to infectious retinitis, which may present with symptoms like floaters, blurred vision, eye pain, and light sensitivity. Some infections inside the eyes may have been passed to a child congenitally. In such a case, the child’s eyes may be misaligned.
When infections in the retina go untreated, they can lead to more serious problems including retinal detachment. To prevent this, eye infections should be treated without delay. It is worth noting that, besides detachment of the retina, eye infections can lead to permanent loss of vision.
