    my boyfriend has retinopathy of prematurity. He's getting surgery today, to see what is wrong with his eye.

  • Is it common for a teen to have retinal detachment? My eyesight is horrible and it keeps getting worse. I've got floaters and flashes and all kinds of other crap going on. I'm seeing an opthamologist in December, but...

  • wow-i've never seen a video of retinal surgery before. thats amazing! my surgeon must be a kind of retina genius. i had

    late-onset retinal detachment (retinopathy of prematurity) in my left eye. i had three surgeries about 2 yrs ago to re-attach half of the left retina. my right eye is 20/30 with glasses, and my left eye is 20/200.

  • I was born with retinopathy of prematurity, my retina completly detached in both my eyes when i was 5yrs old one was restored to 20/700 20/400 in my left eye and it did not work on my right eye, I am so glad i had some of my vision restored if if just a little, seeing this video i realize hoe delicate and how pricise this surgery is one wrong move and it's game over,

  • Nope u have another tear

  • Is it common to see flashing lights after retinal detachment surgery?

  • Nice clean surgery, But what happens next?

    I hope colour is butful.

    When can we see d next part?

  • I had retinal surgery 4 years ago, during which they inserted a piece (?) of silicone in my eye so that the retina will stop breaking or something.

    Thing is that my eye developed strabismus postoperatively, nothing really serious, but surely noticeable to people who knew me before I had the operation. Is there anything that can be done about it?

  • BUT please note it does take up to 12 months and even more for vision to come back to what it is going to be.

  • Hate to break it to you guys but once you have a retinal tear, not all vision will be restored.
