Retinal Detachment:

Condition in which a portion of the retina becomes separated from the inner wall of the eye. In AIDS patients, it can result from retinal disease such as cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis. The condition can rapidly lead to vision loss but is treatable by adding silicone to the vitreous humor of the eye to increase the pressure on the retina.
