Notice Surgery Experience FAQ
글로벌이미지
Is it possible that my vision will not fully recover even after successful retinal surgery?

Yes. Even when surgery successfully reattaches the retina, vision may not return to its previous level. Recovery can be limited if the macula, which is responsible for central vision, has remained detached for a prolonged period. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment of retinal detachment are therefore important. If the macula is still attached, urgent treatment may help preserve central vision. The expected visual outcome depends on macular involvement, the duration of detachment, and the degree of retinal damage.
