2/14/24 update: make sure you subscribe! Im working on part 2 of this video answering the questions in the comments. Ask whatever you want and I'll include it in my part 2 video
The goal and purpose of me making a video about my medical condition is to help others understand the importance of being proactive in one's health.
I was diagnosed with retinal detachment at age 23. I try to see life in a more positive light than I did in my first 23 years of life. The past 5 years, I tried my best to change how I look and interpret the world and life's obstacles. I believe everything is a sign from the universe and the way I was living was not healthy. I'm trying to live in the present and not take anything for granted. I am forever grateful for my team of WOMEN ophthalmologist and surgeon (whom was 8 months pregnant at my second surgery! #boss) for saving my vision.

Only people who go through this understand! I had retina detachment in 2021. I had cryo with scleral buckle and I can say my eye is almost perfect but I have to say, it takes months to years for your vision to settle. Take your time to recover and always be positive

After your retina surgery did you have a film over your eyes with millions of black spots and how long did it go before absorbing into the body? I am really suffering after surgery, the surgery was a success but I cant focus because of this film and spot, doc says they absorb over time, i is now a month. Cant drive etc...very scary

I'm still recovering from a retinal detachment in July. I had every complication you could have and have had a total of 3 surgeries since and I still can't see right out of that eye. It's a horrible experience that I wouldn't wish on anyone but like you, it did teach me a lot of lessons. Also, always see a real MD, an ophthalmologist, when in doubt. Optometrists are really not doctors

My husband's optician didn't spot the detachment and we went elsewhere as he had blurred vision, eventually having surgery at St Thomas' in London on 9th March 2024 (well actually, only 2 days' later).

You reminded me of my own surgery. It's been almost a year since I had a retinal detachment in my left eye (it had a power of -8D). And guess what even i was initially misdiagnosed for dry eye and computer vision. But gradually things got worse i could see flashes at night and a curtain seemed to obstruct my peripheral vision. After a few days, when i visited the retina specialist he recommended immediate surgery (scleral buckling). Unfortunately the surgery didn't work and i ended up with retinal re detachment. Subsequently i underwent vitrectomy where they replaced vitreous with silicon oil. Finally after three procedures and a year long torment I feel I'm doing good now.. my vision is close to normal. Also, im glad you shared your story . It gives enormous confidence to people like me who were so scared in the early days. Atleast I'm not alone in this.. anyway stay blessed and happy..

I had a acute pvd beginning in April that within two weeks turned into a retina detachment of my left eye. I am 45 and have no family history of it. I had my first surgery 2 days after being diagnosed with the detachement and was so unprepared. I went 1 day prior to being a month out when it detached again. This time i knew the minute it happened and immediately called my surgeon. I got in the next day and had surgery again 5 days later. My first surgery was just a regular detachment surgery with gas bubble. My second detachment happpened because the scar tissue pulled away the retina. This time i had the buckle with oil put in. My surgeon said my retina was completely detaached this time, which is unusual and i had a lot more membranes than expected. So the second surgery was mich more involved and invasive . The first surgery i had to hold my head in a certain position for a while and couldnt lift or bend. Recovery was pretty easy and i just couldnt read for two weeks. This time its way more painful. Im 4 days out and not super thrilled. Im hoping all goes well this time.

How did you find out about your second detachment? I had no symptoms whatsoever so I am "lucky" it got detected before my retina specialist was going to space out appointments. Also which part of your retina was detaching? Both of my detachments started at the bottom of the retina.

Glad you're feeling better and thanks for sharing your story!!! My doctor has been monitoring my eyes in case of any holes or tears/detachments. May I ask, when you saw the floaters, was it alot in your vision? Did you see so many to the point it was impeding on your vision? I've been seeing my retina specialist every year and I told him I have floaters but they've been there on the left and i can't tell it has changed. like Normal floaters but it's not all over the place. Were you also seeing the flashes of light for quite some time?

I have a queation around the Scleral buckle. It's a silicone band wrapped around the middle of the eyeball around the scleral. The band is meant to apply pressure so the gas bubble pushes against it and holds the retina in place. My queastion is: Will the band squeeze to a maximum limit? Or over the years will the band narrow the eye even more year over year? If that's the case, you will need more preacriptions over the years. Can the band over time damage the eye? Or does thr band get taken out?

1:59 Hi I just had retinal detachment at the bottom of my left eye & several tears surgery on done in 27/3/23. A Gas bubble was inserted & laser was done on the tears. Had to face down for 3 weeks after surgery. After which my Dr said my retina had reattached & was healing well. Unfortunately on the 6th week the retina started to detach & tear again. 8/5/23 had a more complex scleral buckle with silicone oil surgery done on my left eye again. After 4 days of facing down, Dr said my retina has reattached again. My eye will be very swollen & bloody for the next few weeks. This has strengthened my Faith & I pray daily now.

So i have made high index glasses, but i feel like my peripheral vision is distorted due to high index. I see flashes and a lot of floaters after surgery which i didnt see before the surgery. I pray that no one gets any problem in the eyes.

I’m constantly looking at my vision and I’m always crying and scared as to what’s going to happen and if I will get my vision back. They also put a gas bubble in my eye to hold the retina in place I’m not sure if they did that for you but it makes my vision very blurry. I also had to be in a face down position for seven days. last week when I went to the doctor the retina is attached I am so thankful for that I have another follow up appointment next week.

I didn't have any floaters or flashes but yes i always noticed that my vision in right eye was not as sharp as my left eye and thought it's normal as anyway I am in -7,-8 so yeah vision is fuzzy. I had gone to get myself checked for refractive surgery options n that's how I gotta know. Even now I'm always a bit anxious about what lies ahead and on some days im like so positive.

pvd is common, usually the posteriour pulls the retina causing the flashes. I have been like that for three years not knowing if tomorow is the day to rush to the eye clinic for the same reason this lady explained... It is hard to predict if the retina is going to peel even if there are a lot of flashes for long period of time. High myopic people are usually at risk for such conditions. She said she does not know what caused her detachments but from what I see her glasses are at least -6 even -8 and that is high myopic.

Hello. I suffered a macula-off retinal detachment in my left eye about 5 weeks ago. I initially had a retinopexy, but then the doctor performed a full vitrectomy on me about 3 weeks ago. My concern is that my bad left eye now sees everything smaller (micropsia). Did you experience this phenomenon? Also, was your detachment macula-off? In addition, how long did it take for your vision to return to normal after the surgery and/or how close did it return to your original vision? I appreciate any insight you can give me and I also appreciate you sharing your experience.

Thank you for letting me know. That was one of my main concerns, I didn’t think this healing process takes a while . I’ve been a bit frustrated with this whole situation and I’m trying to be patient and positive.

Yes, surgery didn't make them go away but every yearly checkup the doctor monitors them.

Correction: my optometrist never dilated my pupils. Although she claims she did, which led me to thinking she did "dilate" it, but not "correctly"

I’m a doctor who’s diagnosed retinal detachment in primary care. 2 months ago had sudden floaters and flashing lights. Went to opticians- dilated - told it was PVD. The black curtain symptoms were so insidious that 2 weeks later I went to the A&E where I examined eyes 20 yrs ago. Confirmed retinal detachment. Surgery done under LA. 2 months on. Still a residual shadow and I get a flashing ring in contrasting light. Tough to drive and there’s always a worry in my mind that it’s gonna tear as it’s not 100% 2 months on. I need a slit lamp and another me to check the eye

@@paulwoodford1984 oh, there’s more - attended the A+E in Nov and Dec 2022 - told it was healing - but in late January, shadowing worsened and then the vis distortion - macula off - so i had another vitrectomy and cryo and laser retinopexy with face down for a week. It’s now early April and I’m phasing in my return to work - thankfully the visual acuity can be corrected by a new lens - but the visual distortion of the hall of mirrors is present and I’m not certain if my brain can adjust to it - could take a year. While the cataract slowly forms - I’m sure there is another detachment coming my way - so thats two detachments in three months - but no oil bubble and no scleral buckle Best roll with these punches

Recently had retinal detachment surgery on both eyes. Recovering well now and waiting for my gas bubbles 🫧 to be absorbed by my body. Doctor says eyes are re attached. You don’t need lasik surgery because you can get cataract surgery to improve vision.

I had retinal detachment on my left eye when I was 19. I had a major surgery on that eye. When I was preparing for my university entrance exam, same happened with my right eye although to much lesser extent due to regular checkups. As a Chinese I also visited Chinese M.D. who said that I had poor kidney and liver health and he prescribed herbs to help. I believe that both Chinese traditional doctors and Indian doctors believe that one will suffer if ones energy is out of balance. Yes sound like insane but you will be amazed when you witness they cure some cancer patients. Therefore I recommend you to visit one good Chinese or Indian traditional doctor for consultation .
