is there no chance of getting back vision?
is eye transplant possible? if done, then
are there chances of regaining vision? pl
help, my family is really anxious.
The chances of regaining vision after a
torn retina and broken nerves will depends
upon how much the optic nerve and retina
were damaged. The retina and optic nerve
do not have the ability to regenerate
themselves, so the damaged parts of the
retina and optic nerve are lost
permanently. Vision damage becomes greater
relative to the part of the retina that
has been destroyed. Eye transplantations
are not medically possible for now.
