Default Re: Detached Retina

If you have cataract surgery in your future, be sure your doctor checks to see if you have a tear or holes in your retina. Detached retina can be a by-product of cataract surgery. I know because last April I had cataract surgery followed by a detached retina about a month later. The surgeon who did the detached retina claimed the tear could have been repaired before cataract surgery and then I wouldn't have had to go through the detached retina. By the way, a detached retina can be a scary thing.
