Is there Anything I can do to Help Prevent Retinal Detachment?

Question

I am only 21 years old. I am extremely near sighted (-13.00), have been all my life. At my last check-up,a few small holes were noticed in my retina. I know retinal dettachment is a big risk now.

What can I do to help prevent it???

Answer 1

Did you have the holes treated?  A lot of times an ophthalmologist will just laser around them, which essential welds your retina into place.  Other than that, try to avoid any head trauma.
