Eye Surgery

Wedge,

I started missing shots by a wide margin.

I had a scratch on my lens and I thought that had a bearing on what was going on. If your not sure. Close each eye, one at a time. You'll know right away, you need to see an eye doctor, immediately.

Thanks for your concern.

Tom, did you have any symptoms of your retina issues. I and probably other would like to know in case we are ignoring them.

God bless on your surgery

Retinal detachment is painless, but retinal detachment symptoms almost always appear before it occurs. Retinal detachment symptoms may include:

The sudden appearance of many floaters — small bits of debris in your field of vision that look like spots, hairs or strings and seem to float before your eyes
Sudden flashes of light in one or both eyes
A shadow or curtain over a portion of your visual field

When to see a doctor
Seek immediate medical attention if you suddenly notice retinal detachment symptoms, such as new floaters or flashes of light in your visual field or if it seems as if a dark curtain has fallen across your visual field.

Tom, I earlier inquired about whether you actually had a retinal tear instead of a detached retina. My understanding is that a detached retina requires immediate medical attention as it can lead to blindness if left untreated. I'm puzzled as to why the doctor is waiting several days to operate upon your detached retina.

In any event, good luck with the surgery.

Allen,

I don't have an answer for your question.

I had to go through a physical exam on Friday.

I just think it was poor timing on my part.

I hope they waited because it wasn't as urgent as you may think.

Things went well. No complications. Just recovering now. Keep my head down, isn't easy.

Being a pool player, that should be the easy part.

Thanks for all of your support.

The road to recovery, continues.

I went back to my doctor yesterday. Everything LOOKS good.

A 6-8 week time period for the gas in my eye to clear out.

Thanks to all of you that contributed to this post.

I'm grateful!
