if a person get blind bcoz of retinadetachment is there any operation possible so that eyesight can recoup?

Answer 1

YES or POSSIBLY NO.

There are several techniques available to repair retinal tears and to "reattach" the detached retina by eliminating the area of separation behind causing the detachment. Some of the techniques include: scleral buckling, cryotheraphy, laser photocoagulation, etc.

However, the repair or treatment MUST be sought AS SOON AS POSSIBLE after the detachment.

Vision or eyesight possibly could be restored to normal state if the repair is done within ONE week ( 7 days) after the detachment, provided there are no other issues involved that could have great impact on vision .Detachment affecting the central vision should be treated within the first 24 hours.

Generally, treatment of retinal detachment has 90% success. Giving into consideration that there are other related factors that could affect the treatment and restoration of vision. So to say, the result can vary on case to case basis.

Any additional period of delay of treatment could result to additional damage. Thus retinal detachment left for a longer period can give less room of restoring the vision and can end up to permanent blindness.

In the case of the person you are referring to,if he lost the eyesight due to retinal detachment SINCE LONG TIME, most likely it will be difficult to restore his vision. So far, that's how it is for now but it can change in the future as researches are keep on going to find a way of treating blindness whatever the cause may be.
