What is done for a elevated retina?

Elevated retina: The treatment depends on the cause of the elevated retina. Discuss your options with your ophthalmologist.

Treatment: I am guessing that you are referring to a retinal detachmnt in which the retina is elevated above and off its normal attachments to the back of the eye. This is an urgent problem and should be seen quickly by a retinal surgeon who can reattach the retina by means of lasers or various types of operative surgery.
