Docs, could a tear in the retina be fixed by surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The type of surgery involved depends on multiple factors. Retinal tears without detachment can be treated with laser surgery. A retinal detachment is more involved and can require more traditional types of surgery. Your retina doctor will be able to recommend the most appropriate treatment.
