| Message | Hi, your story is very encouraging to us who are or have been thru what you had went thru, this happened to my left eye, from a partially detached retina which i lived with for many years and corrective lens to complete detachment,It was a terrifying experience and at that time it happened no one was around,had to go to hospital by taxi the world was like a white screen was over my left eye. I had a great doctor at least i have distorted vision in my left as opposed to none and my right is still ok, but i visit an opthamologist yearly, they had put oil in my eye instead of a gas bubble as i was a spinal surgery patient and the eye surgeon was right in saying that i would never be able to get thru 2 weeks strain on the back and neck as what you went thru,to ensure success so oil it was. Oil is still there seems no one is in a rush so i will follow up with my doc in 3 wks re oil and my right eye stat  us so far ok but i know what your going thru with your sight i have the same symptoms so .hopefully readers will remeber protect your eyesight, wear safety glassess get check ups and pray you have a good network of friends and family.PS if you do start to drive later i recommend getting a special small mirror for your drivers side mirror on the car ,it will allow you to see the 6 feet of blind site on the left. Good Luck and hope all turns out for you Mike ps still cleared to dive but am cautious |

| Message | Hi! I just wanted to send you a thank you. I am going through a really bad retinal detachment in my left eye while my right eye was born almost blind. It's been one month and two surgeries (one surg and one laser) and I seem to be recovering ok. I have held up well but after 4 weeks I started to cry and that's when I did a search and found your blog. You have reminded me that I am grateful and soo thankful for whatever eye site I have left. Thank you Thank you Thank you! |

| Message | I am not sure if this is the right spot to put this, but I have a serious issue. Now when I say low budget I mean LOW budget. Not spending my money on clothes, shoes, accessories, etc.... just rent, bills, gas, and food. My food is to a bare minimum as well, like ramen, rice and beans kind of tight. I literally live from paycheck to paycheck to survive. Barely at times..... so my question is, for someone with a budget like mine, how are we to buy vegetables, and fruits, lean meats to lose weight. Or shit really just to be eating healthy.. |

| Message | Hello, Thanks for sharing your story. I had a laser surgery more than 10 years ago. That was successful. But lately, I have noticed more floaters and am more sensitive to light. I scheduled an appointment next Monday to see an ophthalmologist. I am a bit nervous right now. Just don't know what to expect. I am hoping nothing bad because I have two very young children at home who still needs a lot of my attention. And I have no family around. Oh well, just want to vent it out. Wish you the best of luck. I will pray for you.  -Grace. |

| Message | Thank you for sharing your experience. I am preparing to be with my mom, who will need full reattachment of the retina in her right eye --much like your right eye experience. Your experience helps me know what to expect and hope to be able to provide her some support. I wish you a wonderful life. m. |

| Message | Hi I just read your story since I just had laser surgery. Doctor says it is successful but gave me the letter to go to a big hospital for further check (he is a clinic doctor). I am so happy to have come across your story. Perhaps it will prepare me for a nightmare to come. Very grateful you posted it for us. Even though I have never met you I am concerned for you and wish you the best. I also live in Tokyo, could you tell me what hospital you went to? Best wishes to you. |

| Message | Just read your journal on your retina detachment ordeal. I wanted to say that I am 6 weeks post op from my surgery. Most importantly I wanted to point out that I am 100% convinced my problems are due to lasik surgery in 2002, cataract surgery in 2011 and then the retina tears and detachment. I truly believe the lasik was the trigger and the cataract replacement just put me over the edge for further problems with the retina. I loved the way lasik allowed me to function w/o glasses and contact lenses but I think if I had to do it over again, I would NOT do the lasik!! Patty |

| Message | Hi Sunil, I came across your blog and was very saddened to learn about your eye problems. I know you will persevere and overcome this obstacle. Here is a video that you may find of interest in your diet quest. It's long, but well worth watching in it's entirety. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBnniua6-oM Best wishes for a better 2013! Stephen S. |
