BTW, if anyone ever thinks something isn't right with their eyes...get help ASAP. As in don't wait any time, not even an hour. ASAP. My second retinal tear and detachment, I got to Carolina Eye within a couple of hours....still lost 5-10 percent of my peripheral vision in the lower right.
Couple of major symptoms to watch for...first is flashing/spinning lights that aren't really there....that is what a tear looks like. To me, in the dark, it was as if somebody was swinging a light stick on a string in a circle. A detachment will look like a dark curtain coming across your vision.
It's one thing for a retina to detach...if that detachment makes it all the way to the back of your eye...you can wind up with a detached macula, which is very, very bad.
