A retinal detachment is commonly preceded by a posterior vitreous detachment which gives rise to these symptoms:

flashes of light (photopsia) – very brief in the extreme peripheral (outside of center) part of vision
a sudden dramatic increase in the number of floaters
a ring of floaters or hairs just to the temporal side of the central vision
a slight feeling of heaviness in the eye
