Back in the late 90s/early 00s I used to pick up Sailor Moon animation cels once in a while, when they were still a little easier to come by. I usually keep them stored flat in my closet so they aren’t damaged by the light, but once in a great while I like to take them out and admire them.
Anyone else used to collect cels too?
Do you have any favorites?
Hello,
Back on Dec 2025 I had cataract surgery on my left eye and then January 2026 I had cataract surgery on my right eye. March 7th 2026 I ended up having laser surgery to repair a tear to my retina in my right eye. Unfortunately that didn’t do the trick and I ended up with a partial retinal detachment and had a gas bubble vitrectomy for that on March 17th.
Around the beginning of April I noticed my peripheral vision seemed more distorted and I was experiencing floaters and my night vision seemed really poor in my right eye. I had follow up appointments with my retina doctor on April 7th and April 14th and both times the doctor said my retina was still attached and looked good.
By the end of the month it definitely felt like it was getting worse (I could tell I was missing more peripheral vision) so at a follow up appointment with my cataract doctor on April 28th I asked and he also thought my retina looked fine.
I was starting to feel like I was losing my mind as it still felt like it was getting worse, so on May 1st my retina doctor squeezed me in for another appointment and… I had another partial retinal detachment. That’s where I learned this second detachment was due to scar tissue because I have Proliferative Vitreoretinopathy (PVR).
On May 1st I had another vitrectomy, this time with the silicon oil bubble. The doctor was pretty honest that each subsequent surgery will have less of a chance of succeeding. If this surgery doesn’t work he’ll try the buckle. If that doesn’t work we may be running out of options.
I will be receiving Methotrexate injections to see if it helps with the PVR, but knowing I have PVR scares me a lot.
Can anyone else share their experiences with retinal detachment and PVR? Were you able to save your vision? Or is this a losing battle?
