Do I have a magic retina?
For context, I had a completely detached retina, which had folded up into the corner of my eye and shrank over the course of about 2 years (I procrastinated rlly bad). I had a scleral buckle & vitrectomy done 7/1, and was face down for 14 days. Was cleared by my doctor after. Then the next week during a checkup, the doctor saw 20% of my retina had peeled off and not fully reattached. He had planned a procedure in 2.5 weeks (tomorrow 8/12) to cut off the part that wouldn’t stay. In between this time I moved apartments, hung out with my friends, was out in the pool (didn’t get my face wet). When I had my pre-op appointment today, the DR/Surgeon canceled my procedure and said my retina had fully reattached on its own. I have attached a picture (top is 2.5 weeks ago and bottom was today). They said they haven’t seen something like this in 20+ years. Has anyone else ever heard of something like this happening?
