Default Re: Detached Retina

My doc said very near sighted people (me) have to watch for this. A symptom is when there is suddenly a large shadow over your eye, like the lights are turned off. He told me if it happens, to get to a retina specialist immediately. If caught within a few hours, it may be repaired by laser. The longer one waits to have it looked at, the more chance you will lose sight in that eye.
