<unk>  is an eye disorder in which the<unk>  the light-sensitive membrane in the back of the eye, separates from its underlying layer of support tissue.  Initial<unk>  may be localized, but without rapid treatment the entire<unk> may detach, leading to vision loss and blindness.
There are three different types of<unk> :
Rhegmatogenous -- A tear or break in the<unk> allows fluid to get under the<unk> and separate it from the<unk>  pigment epithelium (RPE), the pigmented cell layer that nourishes the<unk>  These types of<unk> s are the most common.
Tractional -- In this type of<unk> , scar tissue on the<unk> s surface contracts and causes the<unk> to separate from the RPE. This type of<unk>  is less common.
Exudative -- Frequently caused by<unk>  diseases, including inflammatory disorders and injury/trauma to the eye. In this type, fluid leaks into the area underneath the<unk>  but there are no tears or breaks in the<unk>
