what causes a torn retina?
Between the retina and the lens is something called a vitreous. Sometimes with age, this gradually pulls apart from the retina. When this happens, it tears. This is the most common cause.
Other causes include severe nearsightedness, a tumor, glaucoma, cataract surgery, family history, severe trauma to the eye, and bleeding behind the retina.
