A retinal tear occurs when the thin layer of tissue that lines the back of the eye, the retina, develops a tear or hole. This can lead to a retinal detachment, which is a serious condition that can cause permanent vision loss if not treated. #retinaltear #retinaldetachment #visionloss #eyehealth #ophthalmology #retina #retinaldisease #eyeawareness #eyecare #retinopathy #prevention
