Hi all,
Is there any connection between retinal detachment and diabetes? My elder son who is diabetic is now experiencing some difficulties in his vision. His ophthalmologist diagnosed it as retinal detachment and recommended him to get advanced retinal detachment treatment ( http://www.herzig-eye.com/eye-conditions/retinal-detachment/ ) to avoid unnecessary complications. So he is planning to get treatment from a well-known eye clinic in Toronto. My concern is, whether this disease is connected with diabetes or is it hereditary? I have this doubt because my husband also had diabetes as well as vision problem. I’m wondering whether this will cause any serious vision problem. Any thoughts regarding my concern?
