SCARRING OF THE RETINA

[msgolddocter]

Is having scarring in the back of the retina a common problem?  Is surgery to make a correction dangerous?  How could the scarring occur?

Due to foreign object strike in my right eye i got my retina damaged or scarred, my doctors from Post Graduate Institute of Medical Science Chandigarh have done 3 surgeries with silicon oil to attach the detached retina, but no success, i have no vision in right eye, is there any way it can be fixed ?

I had the crystalens implanted in both my eyes 3 months ago and my vision is horrible.  Halos, blurred vision, can't see far.  I live in the Seattle area.  Does anyone know doctors who specialize in this problem in my area?

My dad has retinal scarring. It started in his left eye a couple of years ago, and is now in his right eye. The opthmalogist said they do not know the reason for the scarring. He had cataract surgery abou 5 years ago, Wondering if this has anything to do with the scarring. His eye sight is becoming terribly worse. Is there anything he can do, vitamins? medication? surgery?

I am a 29 yr old female and when I was in in grade 7 my vision in my left eye started going blurry and by grade 8 it was completely blind. After countless specialist appt they told me there was tons of scaring on my retina that they think was caused by a parasite getting in!!! I was told my vision in that eye will never come back. I have lived with this for so long now it is just normal to me now but my right eye is starting to get strained/ tired easily now As I get older. I have not been back to a specialist in years and was wondering if there are any new things that can be done to help or even bring back my sight? Thx!

I have multiple sclerosis & I have had optic neuritis in the past. Right now my Optic Nerve is fine but "pale" as the dr. put it. He did however tell me that I have "unknown" scarring on my retina. He mentioned a possible plasmosis but stated unknown scaring. I am going to a specialist soon but does anyone know what this sounds like?
