  • I had this done last week, still sore didn't realise it was so gruesome, I might watch the rest another time..

  • Its Veryyyyyy much helpful. It helped me understand scleral buckle what my teachers failed to :)) Thanku Dr.

  • I get this done next week I had it in right eye at 7 now left eye at 14 nervous

  • I just has this surgery done 2 days ok....Oh my ...I could see the threads but had no idea !!

  • damn,doctors doing surgeries have nerves of steel thats for sure

  • I didn't know you could cut into the eye like that! My mouth has been agape since the beginning of the video!

  • OMG

  • Had this surgery. Was kind of curious. I would have the surgery again before watching this video ever again. nasty. In other news, obviously I am BA.

  • This is a constant and very disturbing condition which never seem to disappear!

    the peripheral vision up, the bottom and sides on left eye seem significantly reduced and it's hard to both see and focus beacuse of the horrible flickering is following your eye movements.

    I have no idea how I got this but it came very insidious late in the teenage years.

  • I'm not sure if it is a shadow but there is something disturbing and feels like it's blocking almost half of my inner visual field (I can see through it) but it very annoying with the black flickering all the time.

    it seems like the more i stare without blink the more it seems to spread in the field.

    when i stare at myself in the mirror only my left eye without blinking my face kinda disappeared after only some few seconds? :O it felt like some parts of the visual field was going blind!
