A member asked:
Please tell me, could a retina detachment test make me blind ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: The testing of course, is designed to detect this problem with instruments that occasionally are uncomfortable due to the brightness of the light, but which will not in themselves change the vision let alone cause blindness.
