The eye sheds cells all the time. It is when there are MASSES of them, and they are unusually predominate that indicate a medical emergency.

Since you take Ritalin --you should get an eye exam yearly to see if there are any retinal changes in blood flow. The eyes are the first place that microvascular changes can actually be seen.
If the retina shows changes in blood flow, you can be sure it is happening in the brain too.

People with collagen disorders sometimes detach retinas. Also blows to the head or car accidents can do it. Poor nutrition also thins the retina. (low Vit A especially)
