Detached and Torn Retina Simulator

Directions: Drag the slider from left to right to see how this condition progresses. The further to the right, the more advanced the condition.

A retinal detachment occurs when the retina is pulled away from its normal position. The retina does not work when it is detached. Vision is blurred, just as a photographic image would be blurry if the film were loose inside the camera.
