Retinal Detachment Treatment
Consultant-led eye care using modern diagnostic and surgical techniques.
BOOK A CONSULTATION MEET OUR SURGEONSWhat is Retinal Detachment Treatment?
Retinal Detachment Treatment is a specialist surgical procedure used to repair a detached retina and preserve vision. A retinal detachment occurs when the retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye, separates from the underlying layers that supply it with oxygen and nutrients. Without prompt treatment, permanent vision loss can occur.
Depending on the severity and type of retinal detachment, treatment may involve laser therapy, cryotherapy (freezing treatment), pneumatic retinopexy, scleral buckle surgery, or vitrectomy. Your consultant ophthalmologist will recommend the most appropriate approach based on your individual condition.
At Battersea Hospital, our experienced retinal specialists provide advanced diagnosis and treatment using modern surgical techniques to give you the best possible chance of restoring and preserving your vision.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything You Need to Know.
Appointments and Consultations
What is a retinal detachment?
A retinal detachment occurs when the retina separates from the back of the eye, preventing it from receiving the oxygen and nutrients it needs to function properly.
Is retinal detachment an emergency?
Yes. Retinal detachment requires urgent medical attention. Early treatment significantly improves the chances of preserving vision.
What surgery is used to repair a retinal detachment?
Treatment may include vitrectomy, scleral buckle surgery, pneumatic retinopexy, laser treatment, or cryotherapy. Your consultant will recommend the most appropriate option for your condition.
How long does recovery take?
Recovery varies depending on the type of treatment performed, but many patients recover over several weeks, with vision continuing to improve over several months.
Will my vision return to normal?
Visual recovery depends on how quickly the detachment was treated and whether the central retina (macula) was affected. Early treatment generally provides the best outcomes.
