How To Treat Detached Retina?
I have been diagnosed with detached retina, yet i have no symptoms. I am seeking another opinion before i have any surgery = is there a sense of emergency in this condition. I went in for an eye exam & all of a sudden I have the beginning of glaucoma & the detached retina? Am currently on simbrinza eye drops. Any advice?

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having retinal detachment.
Retinal detachment is an emergency and it requires treatment at the earliest by surgery.
Since you are also having glaucoma and on treatment with simbrinza eye drops this requires evaluation and treatment accordingly.
Hence I advice you to consult your ophthalmologist at the earliest for evaluation and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
