Feel for you mate, our sight is so precious.
3 years next Feb, both my retinas decided to detach on the same day, they managed to repair the left one with laser surgery but the right one the tear was too big, so it was a full vitrectomy, 3 +1/2 hours in surgery, they got it to hold but sight was poor 3 months later it detached from the bottom up so another 3 hours, it attached again but again sight was blurry, to round it off, the macula then developed a hole, so another 3 operations later the eye is ****ed I can see light and very blurred mis-shaped things, can't view the TV or owt with it Every morning I wake, I open the left eye first and thank whoever that all is good but how long that will last, I don't know.

Most the time , I dont think about it after the initial waking, but now and again I get some flashes in the left which can be a sign and a few worries start, went for a check up early December and everything is still where it should be. Unfortunately because of the laser surgery, it has bought on an early onset of a cataract, which will need doing, not looking forward to that at all, I know there is something like a 96% success rate but there was 93% success rate in the vitrectomy, can't help think I'll be one of the 4% as I was with the 7%

Oh, and I've now got traumatic glaucoma in the right, ffs

Yeah, put some wire through it just over 3 years ago. Detached my retina and caused internal bleeding in the eye so they couldn't see to operate.
My eye surgeon at the time wanted to save the eye but he died of a heart attack and my new surgeon reckons since the eye is causing issues to remove it and replace with a prosthetic eye.
