Sterling Posted July 2, 2015 Report Share Posted July 2, 2015 I know all about this. You'll be fine! For most people retinal detachment occurs in one eye, then the other. If you're unlucky, it happens in both eyes at once and you risk losing sight in both eyes. Looks like you caught it early. They can probably repair it or mend the detachment and prevent any further loss. Your other eye will be monitored closely to ensure you don't lose sight in that one. Unfortunately you won't get to do any sports that involve the slightest impact, including golf. Luckily there's little impact in fishing . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misfish Posted July 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 Woke up to a frightening 3/4 black eye. All I could see from was the top right section and even then it was in and out. Rushed to RVH ( NOT VERY PLEASED WITH THEM, BUT THATS ANOTHER STORY) I arrived at 5:30 am. It wasnt til 9 am I was looked at. By then, the eye was pretty much black. The doc took no time in getting on the phone and getting a specilist for me. ( Mine was on holidays) 1/2 hour later, Im on my way to Sunny brook for eye surgery. After about 2 hours of lasering 4 tares and putting some gas in the back of the eye, I was headed back home. Back down Saturday for round two. The doc has given me a 60/40 chance. I can see light today and make out shapes. I guess thats a positive. It,s the rest of the healing that will determine what sight range I will get. I,ll take some over none, but it is what it is. The story about RVH. I arrive and Im the only one in emgerg. Lady asks the norm whats wrong. I give her the whole speech about the warning sign if I got it and how it was very important that I get looked at right away. First she cant log into the computer. She tried for like 15 minutes. I stay cool as I know getting upset would not help. Finally get me in the system, get me in a room. 6am. Now I wait and wait. I ask when I will be seen. soon sir. Well soon was 9am. When I told the doc about the whole thing, he was not happy at all. Im not sure if or to whom I should make a complaint to. Maybe this is the norm for the hospital. All I know is when I got to sunny brook, I went to the deck and they had me in right away. I will let my eye specilist know what happen and my family doc. Im sure they can get their point accross better then I. ( I do understand though that rushing me in may of had no help as it had come on fast) So here I sit waiting for the next step saturday. Im not sure what it is, but Im not really pissed anymore. These things happen. ( Like my brother says, what ya going to do) I still dont like it,but I will deal with it.Like I have a choice. LOL Work has told me to take all the time I need and if they can do anything, just let them know. I will be taking the docs rules to the T. Looks like fishing will be a few weeks away or more. Thats it for now. Have a great weekend ya,ll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
