Patient: Description of condition (onset, main symptoms, hospital visited, etc.): The left eye was blurred six months ago, and I felt uncomfortable. The doctor said it was a retinal detachment. I don’t have any treatment, but I just want to ask if it’s serious. Can it heal on its own? Is there any after-effects if I have to undergo surgery? Will I lose my eyesight? Where is the best place to have the surgery? It costs a lot of money, right? Doctor: If the retinal detachment is large, surgery is necessary. If it is small, laser or vitreous gas treatment can be tried. If not treated, the eye may become blind gradually and eventually the eye will shrink. An average municipal hospital should be able to do retinal detachment surgery. For the cost of the surgery, if the external route is generally about 6,000, the internal route has to be about 15,000.
