Retinal detachment surgery aims to reattach the light-sensitive layer (retina) at the back of your eye to the underlying tissue. A detached retina can cause vision loss if left untreated.
Surgery is usually necessary to repair the detachment and prevent further vision loss.
Pneumatic Retinopexy: A gas bubble is injected into the eye to push the retina back in place. Laser treatment may be used to seal the tear.
Scleral Buckle: A silicone band is stitched to the white of the eye to create an indentation that reattaches the retina.
Vitrectomy: The vitreous gel is removed and replaced to allow access to the retina for repair.
Recovery time depends on the surgery type and detachment severity.
You may need an eye patch for a few days and need to rest.
Follow-up appointments are crucial for monitoring progress.
Retinal Detachment Surgery treatment cost starts from 1400 USD and this cost will vary depending on hospital, surgeon, stay and other factors.
