Having attained much knowledge in this area with much understanding in carrying out eye surgery such as cataract surgery as well as treating diabetic eye diseases for patients, he carries a remarkable image in the eyes of many. A retinal detachment is a important disease as it may direct to blindness. This occurs when liquefied vitreous enters through retinal tears and detached the retina, so, causing a retinal detachment which builds the photoreceptor cells of the retina critical for sight and loses blood supply and causing it to die off eventually.

Some patients have remarked that they have been seeing floaters and flash lights and wonder if this is one of the symptom of a retinal tear. Floaters are actually shadows of opacities in the vitreous cavity chucked onto and wanted by the retina. These manner of floaters have been identifed by patients in all forms and amount and is more easily observed in regions of bright illumination, markedly against a whole light coloured background.

One way to heal retinal tears is by enduring laser eye surgery which would usually hold about 15-20 minutes or eye surgeries like linoff's balloon, pneumatic retinopexy, scleral buckling surgery which is up to the patient's choosing. Some other popular eye services that Total Eyecare center deals are cataract operation as well as services for diabetic retinopathy and age related macular degeneration.
