Retinal Translocation
It is a surgical procedure that detaches a segment of the retina, which includes an unhealthy part of the retina, and places it in a healthier part of the eye. By now, this is only a treatment option for wet macular degeneration and shows effective results in earlier stages of the disease when the retina is not damaged significantly. Although surgical results can vary, some patients exercise improvement in their vision, while in some people, the condition might not change or even get worse.
The people who had surgery in the early stages of AMD had positive long-term effects, and the function of the eye was maintained for a longer period of post-operatively. Overall, the treatment has shown mixed results being good in some people while not so good in others.
