Wow, you are in my thoughts Karen. I do hope it is not a detached retina and it will be fixed.

Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

Ok deep breath............... Another deep breath.
Retina detachment is not that common.
Vitreous detachment is much more common.
Ask yourself these questions.
Have you lost vision?
Is there a black spider web covering your eye?
Do you see flashes of life?
If you have what looks like a black spider web covering your eye, have flashes of light and lost vision yes that is cause or concern, it woud be like a black web or vail over your eye. It can be a retina detactment.
In that case you will have surgery and it will be repaired.
Is it scary, Yes but it can be fixed. Deep breath once again.
Sometimes people will get flashes of light. They can occur from ocular headaches, a need for cataract surgery or vitreous detachment which occcurs as we age.
Those annoying floaters become more common as we age, they can occur after being hit in the eye as well.
After a while the brain gets used to them and they appear less comon.
Whatever you have can be repaired. DEEP BREATH.
If you have a retinal detachment you will have surgery tomorrow most likely, I doubt they will wait so be prepared with a ride, someone to watch the pets and so forth.
I work for an ophthalmologist have for the past 8 years and in that time I have only seen a few retinal detachments maybe 3% the rest are floaters and vit detachments.
As for that film sounds like an infection. I think that you have an infection worried yourself into an ocular headache which causes the flashes and then panic sets in.
Deep breath.....
I am sending you my very best wishes. Please let us all know what happens. I have seen so many people first hand in your postion.
Not one has lost their eye sight.. Not one. Yes some have had a decrease but no one has gone blind. Those that have lost some vision had a retinal detachement and waited days to go to the Dr.
I am posting for my namesake, K9Karen, she sent me a PM, but didn't feel she could see well enough to post.
She has a retina tear not a detachment like the other eye (which is scary, but good news-KW). She had one laser treatment in the office, which gave her a migraine. She's still seeing some flashes, mostly black dots now, and everything has a white veil due to the blood clot from the tear.
The doctor said she'd have to wait a couple days, she is homebound and not allowed to drive, but her niece is coming Saturday, and her friend Mike can come and her neighbor, too, so she does have help. She is still scared it may detach, but will go back to doctor in 1 week.
She wanted me to thank everyone, and I will add that we should all keep her in our prayers for a quick and safe recovery from this, and no detaching!
