How To Cure Numb Fingers After Vitreous Detachment?

I was just diagnosed with a vitreous detachment. I have been having numbness in my fingers and toes. Is this related at all? The numbness started when I used LeanSpa, a dietary herbal supplement. I have since stopped using it but the numbness and tingling haven't gone away. I was seeing many floaters and that's why I went to the doctor who said it was a vitreous detachment. I have no idea how I got it nor did he.Any insight would be much appreciated.

nothing is related. In my opinion you should go for second opi nion from retina surgeon.you have not given your age and history of related disease. exclude diabetes. floaters can be related to vitreous detachment and retinal detachment hole or tear. dietary supplement has nothing to do with it. what is your visual status. whether it is one eye or both are involved After all information, advise can be more precise.
