@shortbreadlover I’m so sorry you had the eye problem, it’s really scary! My son had laser surgery for retina repair years ago and it’s been fine. I hope yours will also!

Good luck to you! My husband went through this with both eyes and made a full recovery each time. There is a very high success rate with this type of surgery.

All the best for a complete recovery. My mom had the surgery to repair retina and her full vision returned.

@shortbreadlover

Praying for a speedy recovery. I’m glad you were able to get it handled quickly.

If you don’t mind my asking, how did the injury occur? I’m not familiar with a torn retina.

Thanks.

@shortbreadlover I am so sorry that happened to you. I know first hand that the surgery is rough going.

I had a torn rental repair a few years ago. After surgery, My eye looked awful, but in about a week, it looked better and My vision was normal.

Wishing you a good recovery.

@shortbreadlover- My DH had this done on both of his eyes. One retina was nearly completely detached (being a man, he didn't say anything until it was really bad). The other was done at the same time because there was a slight detachment.

After that, he had cataracts in both eyes. And now his vision is nearly 20/20. Before all this, he needed strong glasses.

I think you'll find everything works out just fine. Glad it was caught in time. (((good thoughts for you)))
