@BeautifulSunPhotography@sfba.social Yes, as to 1, that happened to me 20 years ago. I was so worried as my mum had had a nasty tear at the same age. And two years later my other eye started flashing. Also only a detachment. The floaters are rather annoying, but not bad enough to want an operation.

@saarmuller@mastodon.social It is rather alarming when it happens! My left eye had the floaters about 5 years ago, out of the blue, as I was sitting at my desk at work. Fortunately, no retina detachment. But this light flash thing was new and so scary! Do you have any vision loss as a result of the detachment? I guess I thought that surgery was the only way to go in those cases. Sadly, the scan today revealed that I might have the beginnings of macular degeneration. Something to keep an eye on, pardon the pun. LOL
