What are the safest home remedies for detached retina?

13 doctors weighed in across 3 answers

None: Retinal detachment is an urgent and visually threatening lifting off of the retina from its moorings in the back of the eye. There are no home remedies for this, no herbals, no physical things you can do. You need ophthalmologic evaluation immediately and if detachment is present some form of laser or operative surgery is the only thing to save your eye and vision.

Your Car!: The safest home remedy is to grab your car keys and head to the nearest retina surgeon! retinal detachments do not spontaneously repair themselves. Imagine the wallpaper in your house suddenly peeling off one wall. It will not suddenly pull itself back up and glue itself to the wall. Similarly, once the retina is off, it will stay off and vision loss can become permanent within a few hours.

Surgery now!: If your retina is detached, time is vision! The sooner your retina is repaired the more likely you are to regain vision lost, or prevent permanent vision loss. Not every detachment is the same. Some retinal detachments can be fixed with an in-office procedure. Don't delay! There are no home remedies.
