Can Eye Vision Loss Due To Retinal Detachment Be Successfully Treated?

Good Day! My name is Lee, from Malaysia. My father (now is 61yrs old) had retinal detachment at both eyes in year 1992 (as it spread from right to left) and had laser treatment. He lost eyes vision completely in year 2004. Is there any chance to repair and recover, minimally 40-50%?? He is so sad since years ago as he is now blind.Please help to advice! Thank you.

Hello
Welcome to Health care Magic.

I am Dr. DADAPEER K, an Ophthalmologist and I answer health problems related to eye.

I reviewed your history. It seems from the history that your father is having retinal detachment. This can be treated by retinal detachment surgery.
Early surgery will provide restoration of vision. Delay in treatment and surgery usually results in poor vision results.
Hence I advice you to consult your ophthalmologist for examination and treatment at the earliest.

Hope the information is helpful to you.
Do write back to me for further questions.

Thank you
With regards
I find this answer helpful
