Retina Detchment

I had retina detchment in my Right eye since 7 years and suddenly lost center vision, i consulted with eye specialist and he suggested me laser treament which they said could be risky so i didnt go with it. after 7 years i consulted with one more eye specilailist and he operated my eye and placed my retina to its place and also injected gas bubble to push retina back to its position, now its almost 60 days after operation, i am still not able to see from my right eye. please suggest me.

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
You must go back to the same Opthalmic surgeon and complain about your eye.

Do you know what the pressure was in your eye before it was operated on ?

How is the vision in your left eye ?

Thanks for your reply, but there was no pain or pressure before or ever i had in my right eye. only thing i was loosing my vision, my vision was getting blurred.
As far as complaining doctor, they make very clear that we dont give any guarantee on recovering vision back but we will try our best before the operation.

Why is retina detaching in your eye?Do you know?


Unfortunately eye surgeries are usually not reversible-meaning they can't make it as it was-however they may still do something in attempt to correct the first surgery- which can easily translate to just more mess.
It's a pity that you are trying natural ways only now.

"a stich in time saves nine"
7 years is a long time!

A single dose of gelsemium (it might be something else in your case)when retina started to detach (as seen by ophthalm. and confirmed by retina specialist) reversed it and now it is ok.

10 minutes of palming (covering your closed eyes with palms-as described by dr. W. Bates-best eye healing environment-I suggest you do it too as long as you can) when retina started detaching after the serious fall on the head (seen as glittering of light even when eyes were closed)- and there were no problems with it.

Except palming which is always recommendable for eye -we can only suggesat that you keep following the path you believe in (surgeries). I don't.

For black specks floating before the eyes with reading, the herb Delphinium staphysagria has been used traditionally (1/2 to 1 minim of ointment). However, because of its potential toxicity, it must be dosed with care and caution. Staphysagria is also available as a homeopathic remedy without the risk of toxicity.

The herb Pilocarpus jaborandi has been used to treat vitreous floaters (10 to 30 minims of fluid extract taken orally). An alkaloid extracted from this herb, pilocarpine, is still used today, primarily to treat glaucoma. It constricts the pupil, and one of its effects is thus to produce a pin-hole effect in which the vision is relatively clear at all distances. Because of its toxicity and side effects (such as severe brow ache), this natural remedy is not recommended except in homeopathic doses.

Homeopathics

Many homeopathic remedies have been found to be helpful with floaters. A few commonly suggested remedies include Arnica for floaters associated with trauma, Hamamelis when there is retinal bleeding, and Phosphorus for floaters with misty vision. These can be safely taken as a self-help remedy 3 times a day in a 6C potency for up to one week.

For vitreous opacities:

colch
gels
ham
hep
Kali i
merc c
merc i f
morg g
phos
prun
psor
seneg
sulph
syc co
thuj
for turbid vitreous opacities:

chol
kali i
phos
prun
seneg

Retinal bleeding can produce floaters. This is often secondary to diabetic retinopathy, in which case Arnica 30C is recommended every 2 hours for up to 6 doses. If the condition is not stabilized at this point, switch to Conium 6C. Once stabilization is achieved, take Lachesis 6C every 4 hours for up to 6 doses. Other homeopathics that can help speed the reabsorption of blood are Crotalis horridis and Hamamelis. A nosode to consider for retinal bleeding is Salmonella typhi. Streptococcus hemolyticus (and with lesser severity, streptococcus viridans) symptoms can include photophobia, crying with no cause, impaired vision also retinal hemorrhage. Taenia solium (pork tapeworm) should be considered for flickering before the eyes, with blisters in the internal eye tissue associated with uveitis, iritis or iridocyclitis. 50% of these tapeworm cysts are found in the eyes. Toxoplasmose nosode is also used for choroiditis, chorioretinitis and iridocyclitis. In infants the clinical picture may consist of central chorioretinitis in both eyes as well as problems like coloboma, iridocyclitis, strabismus and cataract.

For retinal bleeding in general, classical homeopathic remedies to consider for use as first aid or as an adjunct to any required surgical care may include:

acon
apis
arn
bell
both
croc
crot h
dub
gels
glon
ham
LACH
led
merc c
PHOS
prun
sul ac
sulph
symph

Hemorrhagic retinitis is covered by Arnica montana, Belladonna (deadly nightshade), Crotalis horridus (rattlesnake venom), Duboisia myoporoides (cork wood tree), Lachesis mutus (bushmaster snake venom), Mercurius corrosivus and Phosphorus.

For first aid treatment of retinal detachment, in early stages of the detachment process take Apis 30C every 15 minutes for up to 10 doses until professional help can be obtained. If the condition is not stabilized within 2 hours, however, switch to Gelsemium 6C. If the cause is known to be traumatic, however, used instead Arnica 30C. If it is a recurrent problem, try Aurum muriaticum 30C twice a day for 5 days. Remedies to consider for retinal detachment, used only as an adjunct to any necessary surgical intervention, include:
APIS
ARNICA
arsenicum album
AURUM METALLICUM
aur m
bryonia
dig
hepar sulphuris calcarea
kali iodata
GELSEMIUM
mercurius solubilis
naphtin
phos
piloc
rhus toxicodendron
ruta

Testing

Direct Ophthalmoscopy

The first visible change in the health of the vitreous occurs when liquefaction of the hyaluronic acid matrix is just beginning. The microscopic collagen fiber network which maintains the integrity of the vitreous begins to clump into visible fibrils.

Laboratory Tests

ESOD (erythrocyte superoxide dismutase) measures the body’s first line of antioxidant defence.
Liver function tests, such as Phase I and Phase II detoxification
Stool tests, such as Digestive Analysis and Ova & Parasites.
