Suggest Treatment For Detached Retina

Thank you. I was told yesterday that I needed surgery to repair a detached retina as soon as possible. I do not have health insurance . They won t even see me again until I have $5000.00. Do you have any ideas for me? They also said if I don t have it done right away I may lose vision in that eye. The vision in both my eyes has been bad since I was seven years old.

Hello
Welcome to health care magic.

I reviewed your history.
Retinal detachment requires surgery as early as possible. After 1-2 months post retinal detachment even with good surgery vision will not improve.
Hence you need to undergo surgery at th3 earliest to prevent this complication.

Thank you
I find this answer helpful
