Detached Retina Without Surgery : the Risks In General
Posted: 01-28-05 15:24pm

My mother has a dehiscence in the retina and should be subjected to surgery in emergency.
She refuses to go to the hospital, she is so afraid because she has a poor heart condition and fears the general anesthesia more than the vision loss.

What are the consequences (apart from the vision loss) what are the risks involved if one do not go to the hospital with a detached retina.
I am very worried but she doesn't want to undergo surgery, she prefers to loose an eye.
Please give me an answer about the risks to the health in general.
Thanks
