Talk:Retinal detachment

message: This link "A diary of retinal detachment" was removed from the main article because it points to a personal webpage. The webpage documents the recovery of a gentleman who had surgery to fix a detached retina. The site contains photos that simulate what his vision what like before and after the surgery, a series of photos of his eye during the healing process, and a postoperative diary. The information was very useful to my family as my sister just had to have emergency surgery for this condition. (Untreated, this condition can very quickly lead to blindness.) I believe that the information could be useful to other wikipedians as well, so I propose that we at least keep the link here in the discussion page. Regards, --colibri-- 17:42, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

message: The language is quite technical in places - we could use some links or re-writing to explain in easier English what some of the medical terms mean. The infobox is baffling - what does it do? --Wtshymanski 18:51, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Risks 

message: I see that several of the references cite a "Goldman 2011" with page numbers. However, I am unable to find any reference to such a book (I assume it to be a book with pages numbers in the 2000's) anywhere online. I am also unable to find a reference in the positive to THC causing retinal detachment other than this Wikipedia article, which is what prompted me to look for this citation in the first place. As a matter of fact, I am unable to find a SINGLE reference to THC causing or even being a risk factor for retinal detachment, in fact exactly the opposite is said by several medical institutions as shown by an easy google search. The person responsible for adding this specific item has only ever made one edit on all of wikipedia, to add this information that seems to be the opposite of what searchable information in the internet shows.  Can anyone verify what this source "Goldman 2011" is, and if you have access to it, can you verify the citation for this item? As a matter of fact, I am going to go ahead and remove it pending citation verification.  Iueras (talk) 04:09, 18 August 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Goldman 2011 

message: There are three types of retinal detachment (RD): rhegmatogenous (caused by retinal breaks), tractional (caused by pulling on the retina, usually from scar tissue), and serous (caused by leaking blood vessels under the retina from inflammation, cancer, etc).  This article is mainly about rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) and should be identified as such.  RRD is the most common type of RD and, therefore, is commonly just referred to as "retinal detachment.  Therefore, I would not recommend changing the title. I do think clarification would be helpful. I am new to editing this site and do not know the best way to accomplish this task. Medwiki100 (talk) 11:54, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
