What Is Retinal Detachment?
8. Diagnosis
In order to be able to confirm the cause of your symptoms, the optometrist will need to exam your eyes using specialized tools and equipment. This will include ultrasound technology that uses sound waves to help see if there is any bleeding inside the eye.
A retinal examination may also be used, which uses a specialized lens to look at the back of the eye. This will allow the experts to visually see whether or not there is a tear or detachment in the retina or any other problems. If a tear or detachment is not detected, you may be asked to return again in a few weeks.
