there is still no treatment available for retinal problems researches are being held on animals regarding retinal chip transplant
I disagree with the first answer.
My son was born with a completely detached retina in one eye and a partially detached retina in the other eye. He had no visual response at birth. But after repeated vitrectomy surgery in each eye he now has some sight in one eye. He is still a baby so we don't know exactly what he can see but at 4 months of age he is reaching out and grabbing at objects that are presented to him. We are waiting on the outcome of the surgery in the other eye but his surgeon was very pleased with how the surgery went.
We are working with a vision therapist to make the most of the vision he has. So I would say it really depends on how much of a detachment there is. You need to visit a retina specialist to see what can be done.
What else can I help you with?
Is there surgury for blind spots?
Yes, there is a procedure that uses a laser to "tack" a detached retina back onto the eye. That can restore sight in blind spots that result from a detached retina.
How quickly must a detached retina be treated?
A detached retina is a medical emergency that requires prompt treatment to prevent permanent vision loss. Ideally, it should be addressed within 24 to 48 hours of symptoms appearing, such as sudden flashes of light, floaters, or a shadow in the visual field. The sooner the retina is reattached, the better the chances of preserving vision. Delaying treatment can lead to irreversible damage and loss of sight in the affected eye.
What is the part of the eye that allows sight?
The Retina.
Can the eye sight be damage because of retina condition?
Yes, the retina is a pivotal part of the eyes ability to see.
Where in the retina is the light focused nearsighted?
The retina is a light sensitive layer located at the back of the eye and is used by near and far sighted people.The lens of the eye controls how images are projected onto the retina and this is what causes sight problems such as near and far sight.
Where are the sensory cells located for sight?
receptors in the retina(inside back) of the eye
How do we perceive objects through our sense of sight?
We perceive objects through our sense of sight by light entering our eyes and being focused onto the retina. The retina then sends signals to the brain, which processes the information to create a visual image.
What contains visual receptors called rods and cones?
Rods and cones are in the sensory components in the retina of the eye. They are essential to the sense of sight.
What scientist 1st determined that human sight results from images are directetly projected to the retina?
Johannes kepler
Explain how light and sight are related?
Light is necessary for sight to occur. When light reflects off an object and enters the eye, it is focused by the lens onto the retina at the back of the eye. The retina then converts light into electrical signals that are sent to the brain, which interprets them as images, allowing us to see.
What develops first in a baby hearing or sight?
Hearing. Sight is actually the last sense to develop.
How do eye glasses improve the sight of a nearsighted person?
They correct the path of the light entering the eye so that it will focus a sharp image on the retina.
