Retinal detachments (RDs) constitute a severe ocular condition that can lead to permanent vision loss. When the neurosensory retina detaches from the retinal pigment epithelium and the choroid, it loses its oxygen and nutrient supply, leading to the death of the tissue. RDs can be classified into rhegmatogenous, exudative, and tractional varieties. Rhegmatogenous RDs are associated with retinal break(s) (rhegma). In tractional RD, there is traction over the retina, which causes detachment of the neurosensory retina from the retinal pigment epithelium. Both rhegmatogenous and tractional RDs usually need surgical correction. On the other hand, exudative RDs occur due to the exudation of fluid between the neurosensory retina and the retinal pigment epithelium due to various causes. Exudative RDs usually need medical therapy or laser. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are essential to avoid significant morbidity associated with RD. This activity outlines the evaluation and management of retinal detachments and highlights the role of the interprofessional team in evaluating and treating patients with this condition.
