Wow -and I could not believe all the stuff she went through. Never new eyes could have such problems. Good to know a few medical treatment have good results. Prior to laser, fixing torn retinas probably did not occur. It makes my eyes hurt even thinking about it. At least they used caution when reattaching your wife's retina - means they learn as they go what works. 15 years ago I got an ache in my right eye while in D.C. at a week long meeting. I finally went to the ER (don't ever need an ER in D.C.) and they poked and prodded on both eyes and left me with black and blue eyes. Once back in Salem the pain took me to a local ER and it kept me there and had a taxi take me the next morning to an eye doc. He decided I had a glaucoma attack and put me on eye drops but nothing could be done for the dilation in the right eye. It's still dilated today. Also was sent to Portland for total evaluation. Had all sorts of test and I never got any answers and was eventually taken off the drops because I had never, during each exam, showed high levels of pressure. This was after he poke two laser holes in each eye. Ever since a gooey substance sticks to my eyelashes. All the drops did was flow down to irritate the heck out of my sinuses. Finally had cataracts removed and new lenses installed, did not pay the extra to correct my vision. Always wear sun glass if I even think about going outside, even on a cloudy day!
