Retinal Hole Causing a Detachment (Photo)

Last updated September 13, 2007

This photograph, taken of a rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, shows a retinal hole as seen with a three-mirror contact lens.

Retinal detachments are difficult to photograph, so you might want to watch the retinal hole video this snapshot that was taken from to see it better.
