3 days post op. I’m hopeful!

I have retinoschisis in my left eye. Was told there was nothing to do about it, but possibly caused by that and my near sightedness (-12.5. -1.5 post lasik) I got a detachment. Used the online portal because my vision was worsening but the retinoschisis had trained me not to be super worried. Waited for 3 days as vision got worse. Finally called. Got chastised for waiting. Check the same day, surgery the next.

I’ve been having fun with the bubble. I can see like a microscope if it’s really close to my face. Like 1/4th inch. And the blind spots that had formed are still visible after effects, but definitely see through now. No pain, except for in my neck looking down all the time. Who knows how it will turn out after the bubble but the fact that I can make out details close up already makes me hopeful.
