This emergency situation happens when the retina breaks away from the underlying nourishing layer. Cataracts, eye injuries, and other conditions may cause this problem. Extreme vision changes -- a sudden increase in floaters, light flashes in the eye, or the sense that a curtain is dropping over your field of vision -- are signs that you need immediate medical attention.
