Retinal detachment is a severe eye condition where the retina, the light-sensitive tissue layer at the back of the eye, separates from its underlying supportive tissue. This separation cuts off the retina's oxygen supply, which can quickly lead to permanent blindness in the affected eye. Specialized ECVO-DOK eye examinations can help identify predisposing lesions, such as retinal dysplasia, before detachment occurs.
Affected dogs often show a sudden loss of vision, bump into objects, or have permanently dilated pupils. Depending on the underlying genetic causes, symptoms can appear as early as puppyhood or develop later in adulthood.
Treatment is a time-sensitive emergency that typically requires specialized eye surgery, with costs ranging from 1,500 to 5,000 EUR. While surgery can help preserve some sight, some degree of visual impairment often remains, requiring lifelong monitoring.
