@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

@BeautifulSunPhotography@sfba.social No, my detachments didn't leave any measurable decline in vision, but at the same time I had a gradually increasing cataract on both eyes, so they couldn't observe my retina as well as they would have liked. There were some worries about thinning, but when I had had my cataract operations everything turned out to be fine. It was an unusual form of cataract. For several years I had to buy new glasses faster and faster as the strength of the glasses was quickly increasing.
