bad developments in “good eye” and want some comfort
Hi everyone. I’m 24. I had a detachment in my left eye in september which was treated with a scleral buckle and cryotherapy. Recovery was rough but the eye is stable back to 20/20 and i’ve lived a pretty good life since doing all I did before and more. In february I had my right eye lasered in some areas of lattice, and i really thought that would be it. Well today I went to the ER because I was having unusual flashes, and they discovered a tear on my right eye and some new holes that developed since february. I got them lasered immediately and will be having another follow up in a week. The doctor said if my surgeon isn’t satisfied he might laser some more or we’ll have to do another buckle. I will of course do whatever my surgeon thinks is best, and I’ve had a good outcome on the buckle once already, but I am just feeling so hopeless. I really thought I was on the tail end of all this and now i might need more procedure and more uncertainty. I have a trip out of the country planned in two weeks that would have to be cancelled if i need another surgery, which I know is a small consequence in the grand scheme of things but it just sucks. I feel like I am too young to be having these issues and I worry about what my future will look like.
