Dixie - my 2nd detachment in my left eye last year was caused by scars forming where the doctor had lasered the original detachment. If you tend to scar, I'm...
Thanks for all the responses. I think I'll call my doctor's office and see if they have the equipment to do the Fluroscien pics when I go in. I'm not so big...
Hello, Just wanted to wish you the very best of healing and success. I am 26 too, although I had my surgeries on the RD left eye when I was 20. I can't...
Hi Barbara, I don't believe that the hot weather has anything to do with an increase in the amount of flashes. Unless you're doing too much out in the...
Barbara, I am just going to interrupt for 2 split seconds in your correspondence with Joyce to ask if you have looked at the list of retina specialists on the...
Hi, Floaters and occasional flashing bother my "good" right eye. Laser was done on the eye to repair a small tear at the time of my scleral buckle surgery on...
Thanks Cindy, I have Wills Eye bookmarked and will take a second look to see if any of the retina docs are close to me. I went there (to the website) last year...
Thanks Joyce, As I mentioned to Cindy, I will go to the Wills Eye website and see if there are any retina docs in my area. If there are not any close by, I...
Barbara, your "close to home" doctor must be able to recommend a permanent retina doctor to you....what has he said??? RE: paragraphs, have you tried holding...
THANKS JIM!!! I am the worlds worst speller. I knew what the test was but couldn't tell you how to spell it for the life of me. Maybe it's a good thing I...
That I do not know - I've had vitrectomies in both eye's and the Fluroscien test was done both times very soon after the vitrectomies so...... I had none to...

Thanks for the advice Michelle. I'll ask the "close to home" doctor that question when I see him. (just tried the shift and enter and it did not work, but...
Don't worry about the spelling Michelle, I'm pretty bad myself. It seems the older I get the worse my spelling is. I need to find a large print paperback...
Debbie, I get pain in both eyes on and off. It doesn't last very long, it feels something like a dull toothache. I mentioned it to my doctor back in April and...
Barbara What causes the pain? Whenever he finally gets his life on track because of all of his surgeries and back to work the pain starts. Can it be because...
Debbie, I'm not sure what causes it. For example, today I was somewhat busy getting my cooking done for the week. I came upstairs and sat down on a comfortable...
You are more than welcome... I'm retired now from the Military (work full time in Information Technology) I still remember the spellings on the drugs and their...
... I also worry about my good eye and I have vision in my RD one, so I can imagine how this must concern your son. One thing that might make him feel better...
... Barbara, I think Max once said that when they laser, it takes some time (think it was at least 2 weeks) before the tear is really sealed, maybe a month for...
Our son was born legally blind but could see enough to get by till he went into glasses before school and contacts at age 8. Actually corrected to 20/40 with...
Debbie, Any time someone reports eye pain, i believe they should make an emergency appointment to get their eye pressure checked. High enough pressure causes a...
Thank you very much Barbara. How is your son now? I have contact our blind association, CNIB, and we will be getting Dan cancelling through them. It is with...
Hi Sandy Thanks for your response. Dan has never had lasering because most people plus the Dr told me that it is a high probability that the retina will...
