A member asked:
After you have surgery to fix a detached retina can your vision ever be normal?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Depends on the part of the retina detached, the success of the surgery. Results can be variable. I have seen every thing from perfect normal vision to blindness following repair of retinal detachment.

It is possible: It is possible, but there are many factors that can affect the results.Depending on the type and duration of detachment, and the surgical outcomes, it is possible to come away with 20/20 vision. Without knowing specific details of the case, it is difficult to comment further.
