I for one am glad to see that your detachments were 10 years apart. I feel like I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop, not knowing when, or even if, the...

I just came back from my two week follow-up after having the silicone oil procedure. According to my doctor he "never in his wildest dreams would have...
I had a good checkup with my surgeon yesterday. Today I hoped to get a new eyeglass prescription but I am -8 in the rd eye and *1 in the other eye. I have a...

I DID try that idea with the contacts :clear glasses in one eye with a contact, and eyeglass correction with the other. I'm one of those people who just can't...

Okay, I know the chances of cataracts increases with a vitrectomy and a gas bubble. I slept sitting up for 2 weeks until that bubble went away. I still knew I...
... Hi Cheree and Joyce, I think my original picture was not very clear. It's not like a bubble, because you can actually see that it's a strip under the white...
