re: Detached Retina Surgey

I’ve had the surgery. Hopefully, you caught it before it completely detached like mine.
Had to lay face down for like about 10 days while it healed. They fuse the retina back to the eye with laser and they injected gas behind my eye to help hold things together while it heals.

Mine happened in Paris and I could have elected to have the surgery there but chose to fly home and have surgery here. My eye never went back to 100%, have a couple blind spots but 95% of my field of vision. Unfortunately, not correctable with glasses so I can’t see that well out of that eye.

I would have had to stayed in a hotel in Paris with my daughter for a month because you can’t fly after the surgery and she would have had to go out and find food, do laundry.

Hopefully, yours was operated on quickly enough and you have a better outcome.
