When I posted here yesterday morning, I mentioned that I know 3 men who have had detached retinas. As I read your responses, I realized that there is a 4th I had forgotten. That one followed cataract surgery. Thank you for sharing that information. I have heard that it can be a relatively common complication of a very common surgery.
Recognizing immediately what is happening if the retina is detaching is crucial to saving sight.
