Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment (Photo)
Last updated September 13, 2007
This photograph shows a large, bullous retinal detachment. This retina is being viewed through a contact lens (see our retinal detachment video for a better view). The vertical light beam runs over the detached retina below which looks pale, and normal retina above, which looks redder. Also, notice the slightly corregated appearance of the detached retinal surface.
