Went for yearly eye exam Nov 16 for contacts and glasses, all was good with my eyes. Around the 1st of December, in my left eye, I noticed floaters that looked like a fly in the room, a few flashes, nothing else. Then gradually I had a dark spot in my vision next to my nose. Made a specialist appointment this past Friday. After exam had to immediately go to a retina specialist where they did a procedure for a torn, detached retina. So the past 2 days were 6 needles in my eye , one of which was the placement of a gas bubble to push the retina back in place. Then laser welding of the retina yesterday. I have to lay face down in the couch to keep the bubble over the detachment. Good news is the blind spot has gone away. So, this is a warning to all, if you have these painless symptoms, see a specialist that day if possible. Total vision loss is what happens if you wait too long https://www.webmd.com/eye-health/eye-health-retinal-detachment#1
