Retinal Detachment-Any doctors? Would be appreciated.?

Question

I am 21 years old and very nearisghted (-14.00) and my doctor noticed some small holes in my retina so I was referred to a specialist. At the retinal specialist he said it was just something to "watch" so that it does not dettach. There is a laser treatment available to seal the holes but he said that it is not necessary right now, especially since I do not play any contact sports. What are the chances that I might see some detachment? My vision has stopped progressing within the last 2 years. I am very worried about detachment.

Answer 1

To be honest I would be worried about retinal detachment . As I had your problem and my retina actually tore in two places . My specialist lasered the other eye to strengthen it . If your not happy get refereed to someone else . You can get a second opinion.

You didn't say which part of the country you live in . As mine was repaired at the Sunderland Eye Infirmary .

Hope this helps . Email me if you would like any help.
