Scleral Buckle
Intraocular Gas Bubble
Vitrectomy
Approximately 90% of common retinal detachments can be initially repaired with one or a combination of these procedures. Improvement of vision in the operated eye could take weeks to months. Blurry vision is to be expected for a period of time. If a gas bubble has been placed in the eye, it will prevent normal focusing until it dissolves. The bubble will dissolve on its own over a period of weeks. If the vision was adequate before surgery, the chances are excellent that good vision will return. If, however, poor vision was evident before surgery, the return of vision will be slow and will probably remain incomplete. It is important to understand that a retinal detachment will almost always result in at least partial blindness if not repaired surgically. If the retina should happen to detach a second time, it will usually occur within several months of surgery, and it can often be repaired with another operation.
There have been great improvements in retinal detachment surgery during recent years, and most patients can be helped if the condition is caught in time
