I'm a 43-year old Indonesian male. I had my first retinal surgery in 1983, in US, on my right eye for its total detachment. After going through severe complications, including massive hemorrhage, and a couple of surgeries, I thankfully regained my 50% vision from this eye, good enough to recognize a person's face. In 1995, I had retinal detachment on my other eye, my left eye. I underwent a successful surgery, also in US, and recovered perhaps at least 95% of my vision.
