Answer 2

In the case of retinitis pigmentosa, there is little that can be done.

If the retina is detached (a condition often caused when a hole in the retina allows fluid to seep into the eye and create a pocket), surgery is usually the treatment. The pocket is eliminated either by freezing or by heat, sometimes with a laser.

If retinitis is the result of a blood-borne infection, that condition must be treated first.
