I've recently experienced a retinal detachment and my vision is now very poor. Surgery was performed and was somewhat successful although it would have been much better if done earlier.
IF, you start seeing excessive "floaters", especially if they are dark in color go to the doctor IMMEDIATELY. Once the retina starts to detach it can go south pretty quickly. I procrastinated....big mistake.
Doug, I detached my retina back in 2002 as a result of striking my head. I unfortunately had to have 4 surgeries due to complications after the first surgery. While the retina is reattached my vision in my right eye is 20/400 . BUT DO NOT DISPARE....I still shoot right handed and though my depth perception isn't what it was I'm still shooting comfortably out to 25 yards. It takes work but its doable. Fred
