10 or 12 years ago I had cataract surgery on both eyes. 3 or 4 years after that, I had a small retina tear in the right eye, which my regular
opth quickly lasered and watched every 6 months. Last Christmas season (late Dec 2015), I developed a retina detachment in that eye. The opth quickly sent me to a specialist. By the time I was in surgery 4 days later, I had a small window of vision in the bottom outside corner of about 10%.
