Can someone born with a detached retina develop sight?
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.
