Solution

D. Intense pain in the affected eye

Retinal detachment is typically a painless condition. The symptoms usually include seeing "floaters" or flashes of light, and experiencing a darkening of the visual field, often described as a "curtain being drawn" over the eyes. However, it does not usually cause intense pain in the affected eye. Therefore, intense pain in the affected eye would not be consistent with a diagnosis of retinal detachment.
