A member asked:
Can homeopathy help to prevent retinal detachment or does it provide only symptomatic relief to flashes and floaters?

No substance : Can prevent a retinal detachment. You need to treat the underlying cause diabetic retinopathy for example. I have had patients who have taken homeopathic remedies for floaters , but guess what! , on exam they were still present.

Neither!: I am a retinal specialist practicing for 15 years now and seeing only patients with retinal problems. I have never seen nor even heard about any evidence that there are homeopathic remedies for retinal detachment, flashes, or floaters. I strongly believe that any affects that occur may be random or due to placebo effect. This is not conspiracy against homeopathy. If it worked, we'd use it too!
