Hi...
I had a detached retina just two weeks ago and got the most brilliant advice on here - I'd no idea what it was, and whizzed into A&E once Id heard from all of you and they operated fast as it was so bad.
Now two weeks on it hasn't healed as well as they might hope... a fuzzy line across the middle of my vision, the line where my retina detached up to, and waviness above and below... They have said this will hopefully settle over the months to come.
Has anyone had this happen to them, or to someone you know?
And what happened next?
And top tips on helping healing? I know there's no real evidence base, and they're clear not much makes a difference but anything that might I would like to try. So far I've got:
- eating lots of green leafy veg, highish protein, fish oil, taking Macuguard and a multivitamin,
- wearing sunglasses and a hat
- not carrying heavy loads but otherwise normal activity including swimming and dancing - and plenty of rest, not too much "eye-work" (reading etc)
