I've watched about 15 videos of retinal tear and this is the best. Exactly what i was looking for. I had to grab a quick flight to a neighbouring province after being told i had a retinal tear a month ago. I'd been talking to a couple of coworkers outside and suddenly started seeing big floaters and what looked like squiggly worms wiggling around in my vision. I figured I would sleep on it and it would all be gone when i woke up but instead i rushed to emergency. Lucky thing because the doctor said it was torn in two places and immediately arranged to have me see someone 750kms away the next morning early. What a shock to be cruising along with confidence and half a day later being told to get someone to escort you on a flight for emergency surgery. How am I? Fine, but the whole experience was scary. Wondered if I'd ever work or drive again. Will never take my vision or my health for granted again. Thank you for reading this and if you are having laser surgery for your own retinal tears or detachment i sincerely hope it works out ok. If anyone has any questions I will answer them.

M59yo. White flashes in right eye and thought it was a migraine coming on. Then lots of floaters. Rang for advice and told to come into emergency asap. Assessment done. Told to get a retinal photograph at my optometrist. She found two tears. Went to the eye clinic. They said it wasn't looking good and likely to progress to retinal detachment. Had laser therapy. Had to go back for a second session bc they didn't seal one tear completely the first time. Prognosis is now good. Everyone online say it's painless. Certainly wasn't for me! And once the anaesthetic wore off, it was like having a sinus infection + hangover + being punched in the face. But amazing they can repair a tear at all. Cost (Australia): $0. Thx Medicare!

A tear can progress to a detachment if not treated. The Dr uses a laser to burn the tears and once they heal in about two weeks the retina should be ok. It took maybe an 1.0 hour or maybe 1.5 hours. I had to keep having him stop due to pain and discomfort. I had 4 tears. It's something that takes some getting used to. The Dr can give you some meds to numb the pain. The bright lights used seem crazy bright and so is that laser. Afterwards you will be out of whack for a few hours. I was ok after two days. I had to go back for another half hour session of laser treatment. Folks, don't play around with this. Get it done if you need it. Go to a top level clinic for treatment. I had not been to an eye doctor in 7 years. I will never make that mistake again. I plan on going once or twice a year no matter what.

I just had this procedure yesterday. I'm sure I over reacted to the procedure but I hate to have anyone messing with my eyes. Most of the discomfort was because of the eye being dilated and the bright light used. My eye is a little bit sore today. Feels a bit irritated. No visual problems thought. Follow up in 6 weeks to see if it is healed.

Im 26yo, ive had this yesterday in my right eye. I had 3 big spots with holes and one of it was close to my optic nerve. Started seeing a bit of floaters and flashes in the peripheral vision. I went to the emergency and they checked after they've dilated my pupils with drops. I wish i had sunglasses because i was super light sensitive after that. They asked me if I wanted to get this surgery right now and I said yes. The surgery was painful for the patch near the nerve but the rest was not so bad. They used drops to neutralize my cristallin and also to make me not blink. The surgery lasted for like 5min at max, i saw a green laser and it beeped whenever it would do the welding*?. I did like a good 110 beeps and it was done. Then i went back home right after. I was having a blurry vision for like 2h, I could still see fine but i couldnt read small letters. Took another 4h to have my pupils stop being so dilated so i wore sunglasses for that time. Today ive had a bit of pain when looking at stuff like 6inch from my eye but it was due to my cristallin being sore. Everything else is perfect and painless. My doctor told me to go back to the hospital in case i saw like a curtain in my sight or if i had flahses again. But i have absolutely nothing of that, as if ive never had any eye problem in my entire life. No lights, no green or gray spot, no floaters. I think it is litterally the best surgery experience ive had so far and ive had a couple. I think it is 100% worth it. And it is more stress than harm. Be sure to have sunglasses and someone with you because you cannot drive after the surgery. Much love xx

There's more info in this video about this condition and treatment than I was told by the people at the optho center where I had the laser procedure last week. So glad I watched this. I'm a 58 y.o. male. Recently I was at a regular eye checkup and my doc saw something she didn't like and noticed the tear, thank goodness. It's part of ageing, there's nothing one can do about a retinal rip happening--- but luckily it can be treated. I was referred to a guy an hour away and (after registering and waiting a while) the laser treatment took a mere five minutes. There was some uncomfortable pressure during it but nothing dreadful; he had numbed the eyeballs with some drops a few minutes before doing the zapping. There must have been about 25 shots of bright light in my left eye. Both eyes cried while this went on but I suppose that's normal. So now I am taking it easy for a while. They want me back in three months to check healing and to see if I need any more laser work. He also found a cataract in the same eye but said that we needn't deal with that until I experience vision sympstoms from it. I would urge anyone over 50 to take their eye health seriously, and get a checkup at least once a year. I had no idea this condition was even a thing until I had this diagnosis.

Better have this done now and avoid having a retina detachment (at least lower the probabilities, some peace of mind goes a long way).

Dr. I had a 100% retina detachment and I caught the problem later like by 6 days, the surgeon however took on the task of repairing it with laser treatment. 30 days later the surgeon inspected the eye and told me it was going along great ! My next appointment is in mid June for my second check up. I tend to wake up seeing slightly better, still pretty blurry regardless, but better. As the day goes on since I watch TV a few hours during the day, it seems that my operated eye gets tired and the eye seems to get tired and my vision gets a tad blurrier. I keep my face upward and to the right as I was told on the pillow, but I tend to sleep better to the other side, but it’s been like 2 months since the operation, so I don’t think this will affect it. I did follow the instructions on this the first 30 days. Any comments to help me. I use the drops given.

You say the laser procedure to fix a tear in the retina is painless!???? I totally disagree! I'm going back tomorrow for my third attempt to laser my torn retina.. The first 2 times was unsuccessful due to the extreme pain, which caused me to be unable to continue. The bright flashing of the laser was so bright I pulled away in pain! I am always one to handle pain very well, but this was unbearable to me. I am so worked up about tomorrows procedure, I'm literally sick to my stomach, but I don't want to lose my sight! Why isn't there a more painless way to do this? I think it's more about saving $ (as all insurance Co. do) than not being able to do what it takes to keep the patient comfortable. Also, The first eye dr. I saw, she was shooting that laser wildly all over the place, regardless of my pleading for her to stop. How possible is it, that she may have caused more harm than good? She used the laser like a machine gun! The second Dr. I went to was at least slower and more precise in the zaps.

I had a few retinal holes in my left eye and I only found out because my optometrist noticed them when I went for a new prescription. When I went to get the procedure done I had just gotten my new glasses. My left eye was ever so slightly blurry after the procedure for a few days and then less blurry for a few more days after that. If I remember correctly, I don't think it went back to being 100% clear again, but the blurriness was so minimal that it didn't bother me.

I had this done 5 days ago. I have had a large floater since in vision. Dr. Says it should go away. I hope so. Soon!

Did your floater go away? Had the procedure today, had the large, gel-lile floater going in and Dr. said 50% chance it would go away.

Oh, sorry to hear that you still have it, I hope it gets better for you. Mine doesn't bother me so much at night or in a dim room...but reading on a computer screen or being outside is annoying/maddening and I've only had it for 2 weeks.

Don't ever have laser done on your eye unless the doctor guarantees it in writing. I lost everything when I went for treatment. It took a couple of years but I could no longer work cause I had no depth perception for my work. DO NOT LET A DOCTOR SHOOT A LASER IN YOUR EYE FOR MORE THAN A BLINK!

Had retinal tears in Both eyes and got laser surgery on both. Wish I hadn’t have done this. I think these procedures should only be done if you are at risk of losing vision the day of. Not sure why they push preventative procedures if there is nothing wrong with your eyes. There’s no telling if u would ever even get a detached retina. Not a medical professional but if I could turn back time I woudnt do it. Why damage ur eyes with laser if you’re eyes feel healthy and your vision is good
