Well, it can happen to any of us and it was my turn. Last week I experienced an optical event where my right eye vision was blurry and occluded by a massive vitreous floater. My optometric exam found some hemmoraging but no tear. The major concern with this kind of event is of a detached retina, and as I am very myopic I am prone to a detached retina and so The Watch began. On my follow up visit a week later a sizeable retinal tear was detected and so I was immediately sent to a retinal specialist who confirmed the diagnosis and then repaired the tear with laser surgery. The next day I had remarkeable improvement and my chances of having a detached retina were reduced to less than 1%.
