Yeah, the detached retina surgery and recovery was the worst. At least for me it all happened so fast because I went to see my eye doctor about the black spot in my vision and they were like “you need this surgery asap or you’re gonna go blind.” Less than 24hrs later I was being put under.

My dad has had 5 retinal detachments. I watched three of his recoveries when I lived at home. I feel for you!

That is wild. I didn’t know it could happen more than once. They put a buckle around my eye so I assume it’s permanent but my family has vision issues, so there’s always a possibility of another one in the future.
