A member asked:

Please tell me if there is anyway to have vision again after retinal detachment?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: If you just got the detachment there is good surgical means to correct it. If you had failed surgery or a neglected detachment, then the retinal will lose its function and be unable to have the vision restored.
