What are the chances that a person with a long standing complete macula off retinal detachment will regain good vision? A friend of mine suffered a RD in one eye and according to her doctor the RD most likely occured over a year ago!!! However, after surgery the doctor gave her the news that her prognosis would be great and she should be able to achieve 20/40 vision out of that eye, is this giving her unrealistically high expectations?
Also, one more question: What are the odds of a person getting CME after undergoing cataract surgery?
