A detaching retina can present with a shower of many new floaters, flashes of light, and there can be shadows or the appearance of a curtain crossing the field of vision. The onset of symptoms is often sudden.

I am not trying to alarm you, but if you think a detaching retina is in progress, please let the office know that when you call. A detaching retina can be reattached but time is of the essence.

I do not know of a specific doctor to recommend, but the sudden onset of new symptoms with vision may need immediate attention. I wish your husband the best care and outcome.

Laurie is SO right. Ocala eye has a Retina specialist but you must drive to Ocala to see him. Please call to be seen today.
