A member asked:
Could total blindness caused by retinal detachment be treated so that vision can be regained?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: Current medical knowledge cannot improve upon this situation . The optic nerves in your eyes perhaps are fine and work is being done on photoelectric devices to give a little vision in this situation. Stem cells may help also in the future. Stay tuned.
