Retinal Split Repair (Due To Injury)

.Hi,
I got punched in the eye about a year ago, my doctor said I had severe damage to my retina causing a split, i am seeing 20/50 with a blind spot in the right half of my central vision,

My questions are,

1) Are there any surgery available to fix and improve my vision?
2) Since it has been just over a year, will wating this long affect what surgery can be done/ permanent damage?
3) My doctor also said that my nerves and receptors in my eye (i dont know technical terms) are starting to die where my retina is split,

Any help would be awsome please and thank you .
