Dear all -- thanks much for retinal detachment suggestions. I also found this:

Naphthalene
I have found this remedy extremely useful in loss of vision due to retinal detachment and other pathologies.
A case : wife of an eminent homeo physician suddenly became blind. On detailed examination at a specialized center no cause could be found out. The lady was non diabetic. I was requested to suggest the remedy on phone.I talked to her husband but could not elicit any significant point helpful for the prescription. I suggested Napthaline 6 to be given 3-4 times a day. 2 days later the vision started to return and she could recognize faces.
Complete recovery took place in a month and is considered as a miracle even by the ophthalmologists who examined her and found no clue to treat her.
Among the indications mentioned in Boericke’s Materia medica are :It produces detachment of the retina; papillo-retinal infiltration;
Deposits in patches upon the retina; amblyopia and consecutive `amaurosis; sparkling synchisis; soft cataract.

Best,
Margaret, Boston

Thanks for the notes from Dr.Rastogi.

Actually Boericke Repertory has 5 entries for retinal detachment and one of them is Naph. Aur mur, Pilocarp. etc are also there. But I think many more remedies will be indicated and can act when indicated by other symptoms...
