I am 53 Yr. old, Bank officer with High Blood pressure. The Present condition of my vision is that I can see with my left eye with band formed by blood clots in my vitreous fluid, it may be called a filtered vision, and my right eye has no vision due to total retinal detachment,With my existing vision I can continue to work in my office although with obstructed vision due to vitreous band.

Answer 3

Yes,
you have lived long enough to be in luck. Retinal replacement clinical trails have begun in US,Japan and especially in Germany...
Gather up all your medical records and investigate as to weather you can qualify for one of these ambitious program.
Consults will need to see exactly what has been done to both eyes and all kinds of base line blood work.....
If you have the money and are up to it, I am sending some new ideas on the subject. The Regensburg team looks most promising.
