Retinitis pigmentosa
The retina is located at the back of the eye. This thin layer of light-sensitive cells sends information on shape, colour, pattern and movement to the brain via the optic nerve. There are special light sensing cells in the retina, called rods and cones (see explanation below).

Retinal detachment - detached retina
Retinal detachment (detached retina) is a medical emergency when the retina becomes separated from the inside of the eye. Warning signs include a sudden increase in floaters or flashes. Seek immediate medical attention. This could save your sight.

Retinitis Pigmentosa | Vision Australia.
Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) is a genetic eye condition that causes cells in the light-sensitive retina, located at the back of the eye, to degenerate slowly and progressively.

Interventions for prevention of giant retinal tear in the fellow eye | Cochrane
A giant retinal tear is a full-thickness retinal break that extends for 90 degrees or more around the circumference of the retina, in the presence of posterior vitreous detachment (when the vitreous comes away from the retina). Giant retinal tears cause visual loss as a result of the associated retinal detachment. They can be difficult to treat due to the large area of retinal involvement and the high risk of re-detachment following vitreoretinal surgery, often related to the development of proliferative vitreoretinopathy (a scarring process that can happen on the inner or outer surface of the retina and in the vitreous cavity after retinal detachment). As the fellow eye has an increased risk of developing giant retinal tear and retinal detachment, prophylactic 360-degree treatments with laser photocoagulation, cryotherapy or encircling scleral buckling have been proposed to reduce this risk. This review did not find any strong evidence in the form of prospective randomised controlled trials or case-control studies to support or refute these prophylactic treatments.
