Laser treatment is not the way to go.
Moorfield in London use the Cryo system where by they use a really cold probe, probably using liquid nitrogen and stick the bits of the retina together using the scar tissue to join up the tears in the retina.
This sytem really works, I know `cos its what they did for me. Its taken over a year for my eye to recover but now its stated to reafirm itself as the major, i.e. stronger eye again. As it was before I had the detached retina.
After the Cryo treatment they fill the eye with a fluid and initially you think that you will never be able to see again.
Its takes a good three months for the fluid to be absorbed bu the body and you will find the "Bubble" in that eye getting smaller and find that you can see more.
The guys at Moorfields Hospital in London really do know what they are doing believe me.
I was under the clinic of Mr Sullivan and his team. You couldnt find a more dedicated bunch of guys than they are.
They are I believe some of the leading experts in the world in this field...
If you have any doubts and can make it ,go along there as they do run an emergency clinic.
Good luck and best wishes to all.
