retinal detachment is caused by alot of factors. the most common one is stress from working in a focused enviromnet liek surgerys for example. but it is a multifactorial disease, meaning not only over stressing your eye will cause it but also genetics and aging play an important rule

Choroiditis \nInflammation of choroid layer (layer of blood vessels) directly behind retina; can lead to scarring of both choroid and retina, permanently impairing vision, especially if central area of retina is affected. Condition is painless, but should be suspected if there is blurred vision in centre of visual field and person has been exposed to Toxocara infection from close handling of dogs and cats and contact with their faeces toxocariasis. Choroiditis is also seen in babies whose mothers are infected with syphilis (see Sexually transmitted diseases), though very rarely. Your GP will arrange for blood tests and X-rays then prescribe steroids or, in severe cases, immunosuppressive drugs to prevent further damage to choroid and retina. If you are unable to take these drugs, or if condition recurs after stopping them, consult your homeopath. \n\nSpecific remedies to be taken every 1/2 hour for up to 10 doses when disturbance to vision is most acute, or while waiting to consult a homeopath \n\n Congestive headache with flashing lights Belladonna 30c \n\n When everything seems green Arsenicum 30c \n\n Symptoms improve by wearing sunglasses or shading eyes Phosphorus 30c

What You Should Know About Flashes & Floaters\n\nWhat are floaters?\nFloaters are usually caused by condensations of the vitreous, the clear jelly-like fluid that fills the inside of your eye. Shrinking of the vitreous causes the gel to pull off of the eye wall, causing a posterior vitreous detachment. This is commonly age related, but is also more common with nearsightedness, following trauma or surgery, or with inflammation inside the eye. Floaters can also be caused by bleeding into the vitreous (as in proliferative diabetic retinopathy and retinal vein occlusions) or with eye inflammations.\n\nAlthough they appear to be in front of your eye, they are actually floating within the vitreous inside your eye. You may sometimes see small specks or clouds moving in your field of vision. They may have variable shapes, including small dots, cobwebs, clouds, or lines. They are often most noticeable when looking at a plain blue background, such as a computer screen or blue sky.\n\nWhat are flashes?\nFlashes are often caused by the vitreous pulling on the retina during a posterior vitreous detachment or with the development of a retinal break or detachment. The flashes often develop just before floaters are seen. They usually are bright light-colored, occur in only one eye, and are without shape.\n\nMigraines are another common cause of flashing lights. Some people experience flashes of light that appear as jagged, often colored, lines or "heat waves" in both eyes, often lasting 10-20 minutes. If a headache follows the flashes, it is called a migraine headache. However, jagged lines or "heat waves" can occur without a headache as part of an ophthalmic migraine. Migraines are often associated with light sensitivity, nausea, and tiredness.\n\nCan flashes or floaters cause vision loss?\nSudden flashes or floaters can signify a retinal break or detachment which can cause blindness if left untreated. You should have an emergency eye examination for sudden floaters or flashes in one eye. However for most, these symptoms are temporary, and not associated with any serious eye problems or permanent vision loss.\nI found this information and it may be useful:\n\n\nAlthough floaters are usually frightening and annoying when they first develop, they usually become much less noticeable within several weeks to months. The floaters can often be moved out of the way by moving your eyes around. Rarely, some will require vitrectomy, a relatively painless outpatient surgery, to remove the vitreous for visually disabling floaters.

General thought about looking directly at very bright light is correct. The lens of our eyes can project a many fold brighter image on the retina. This can damage the rods and cones in your retina and can even cause permanent damage to your vision.

Well, there are many.\n\nFirst of all, any incident where the eye is physically damaged (e.g. poked, scraped), could cause permanent damage.\n\nI suggest the following website:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye#Diseases.2C_disorders.2C_and_age-related_changes

Uveitis is any inflammation inside the eye (including the iris, ciliary body, and vitreous).  There are many things that can cause it, but often it happens for no apparent reason.

It sounds as if you may be experiencing floaters.  This is something that happens more frequently as people age.  It is actually gel or cells floating in the vitreous fluid (jelly like material within the eyeball) in your eye.  AS we age the vitrous fulid in our eyes thickens and this can lead to floaters.  You are actually seeing the shadows of the material off the retina. Floaters move with your eye as you move it because they are located within the eye itself.  Many times you can see floaters when you are looking at a light colored wall or background.  Floaters can be caused if you have experienced a blow to the head or can also be caused by a retinal detachment.  You should see an opthalmologist to rule this out.  If there is a sudden onset of the floaters it could be indicative of larger problems such as diabetic retinopathy, retinal hemmorhages or carotid artery disease.  If you are nearsighted, have had cataract or YAG surgery or experienced some inflammation or swelling within the eye, it could be a vitreous detachment.\nIt is impossible to diagnose this over the internet so you really should seek the attention of an opthalmologist for a true diagnosis of what you are experiencing.

Hmmm well take care yours eye well that's the most important, avoid watcihng/playing or stond TV/Monitor for long peiod of time, when proper eye protection during certain harzard.  Avoid fatty food, fat = increase blindness.

You are risking your eyesight by overwearing your contact lenses. you may get lucky this time, next time or forever but why take the risk. You can get a corneal ulcer that can cause severe pain, infection and even blindness. Contacts are a medical device and should be taken seriously. Your optometrist should read you the riot act every time you see them. you are risking your sight, knucklehead.

I suppose you had a retinal detachment. I strongly recommend you to undergo an ophalmologist check. I would fear a fibrous tissue formation around silicone vesicles, which is a rather constant complication and of early occurrence.

For one, cameras today can't produce the resolution that a human eye can produce.\n\nThey are working on artificial eyes and radar, and I think a Retinal Transplant might help you. Talk to your doctor about if you are a possible candidate.

Depends on what kind.\n\nThe kind I had, which was for a retinal detachment, had me in a semiconscious haze of pain for about a week, and hurt to a lesser degree for about a month afterwards.  At the beginning, I could not read, watch TV, or look at anything really, because it hurt too much to move and/or focus my eye.  I would recommend eye surgery to save your sight (it was worth that) but not for any cosmetic reason.

do you happen to wear contacts, could be an allergy to the solution, could be just plain allergies.  Is there itching or discharge, discharge would point to some sort of infection.  If you do wear contacts, go see your eye Dr.  I had problems that started out with red eyes and it turned out my contacts  were causing ulcers on my eyes, you may need antibiotics and different contacts, I had to start wearing ones that allow more oxygen through cause the lack of o2 was causing my eyes to dry out and the contacts were rubbing ulcers.  I would definitely talk to your eye Dr.  you do not want to loose your vision.  Good Luck

Radiation from the TV destroys the cone and rod cells of your retina. If you are destroying more cells than the body can create, you are gradually destroying your eyesight.

Erbs palsy is one possibility, this is damage to the brachial plexus as it enters the arm. This can occur to babies where a foreceps are used. Or it can be a herniated cervical disc. What ever the cause you need real help, from an alternative perspective go to a good chiropractor for an eval.
