Good video. I just completed my 5th detach surgery 7 months ago, it just kept detaching. (Left eye) I do have the buckle from the 3rd surgery. My retina is attached now, my vision is still distorted. My right eye detached 4 years ago, first operation fixed it. I’m 70 yrs old now, but still surfing. My depth perception isn’t good yet. My brain isn’t picking up both eyes working together yet, but it will in the future I know. I drive with one eye mostly, I’m so use to it. God Bless, you will get better. Proverbs 3:5 Philippians 4:6

Im on day 6 thankyou for.youre.videos ☺️ mine is my right eye too i had an accident so not exacly the same circumstances but similar i have some vision already just.very blurry its so scary and gets me down but im trying too keep positive and like you have.said just thankfull my left eye is doing all the work good.luck with your.journey

Day 11 waaaaay too soon. Take it easy for a month

Her eye was right, but they show her LEFT eye was all swollen. Whats up with that?

A side effect of the operation for retinal tear, buckle, gas etc will be a cataract. Removal of the cataract and install of a new lens will improve your vision. A buckle can be uncomfortable as the weather changes (temp and air pressure). Be aware your other eye may also give you a problem soon. Emergency gas and lasering is less traumatic than buckle and full gas…..that my experience

I had a retinal tear 10 years ago it was a nightmare to this day i still have secondary side effects i still have floaters and flashes always have the concern that it can happen again wish no one would go through this.

Hey Lauren , this is a great motivating video. Please update Now how is ur vision now and update in a Video. I watch your Vlogs also and want to know more of the Update via Video. Thanks

Thank you for sharing your experience. I had a PPV last year, and since then, my pupil reacts slowly to changes in light, causing my pupils to appear different in size. Have you experienced something similar?

Its traumatic to undergo many eye surgery.I hope you get ur vision

Very informative. Greatings from Toronto.

Thanks for posting your experience having a detached retina. This post was 10 months ago and wondering how you're doing at this time being January 2025 ? My husband just went through the same thing and currently in his 2nd week of recovery from having the surgery Jan. 1 , 2025.....yes....New Years Day. He is going through many of the same things you posted in prior video's so I guess this scenario is pretty commonplace. Thanks again for posting the videos .♥ Wishing you all the best also.

Sad part there are new technologies in other countries, China & South Korea that seem to have a more modern solution with less trauma to the eye for RD repairs.. & are still a few years out here in the USA. A small laser repair for a tear is preferable to avoid an detachment. I had PVD for over a year which decoyed me enough to ignore a larger floater big mistake... 3 weeks went by before I realized the floater was a critical rd issue not just a usual floater. Suffered PVR 5 weeks out after first rd surgery Have good vision in my surgery eye despite re rd & scar tissue, the SIO helped stop the damage so I am stable until I have the second surgery to do SB & laser. Fun times. Enjoying the PTSD day by day. No one wants to go blind.

Great video

Thanks so much for sharing your eye story. I'm going through very similar things - from September 2024 to Dec 2024 - I've now had 3 surgeries - with the last one being the buckle. Seeing exactly what you're talking about ;) Looks like your right eye is looking like an eye. I'm finding my eye lid is droopy since I also close my injured eye so I can see better with my good eye. I was wondering if you did any eye exercises for the droopy eyelid... or if that just starts to become normal? I'm so sorry you had to go through this at such a young age! I'm 61. BTW - People ask what my vision looks like and I've come up with the answer: Picasso does finger art with vaseline on glass .... kinda groovy :)

Thanks for sharing! Which site were you on at George Lake?

I was there that night! So surprised I didnt see you since I was close to where you were sitting❤❤😂😂

matt’s suggestions for the cookie👌🏼

Did anyone feel like they could feel their stitches or feel like there was like there was something in their eyes after one week? I’m trying to keep my eye open, but it feels like there’s something in it still just wondering if anyone can relate.

Im going through the same atm. You elaborated very well what you went through. I was just wandering are you using cordless Bluetooth earplugs to Listen or talk to the phone. I wish you very well.

I literally just got this same surgery 4 days ago…. My eyesight was -10.5 now it’s -15… I’m 33…. Thanks for this vid ❤❤❤

Oh those cookies look so delicious!

This is squeezing budget

Hi I watch it and I know what you feel I was there

This video has honestly helped me through the scariest experience of my life! I’m 35 and am 4 days post scleral buckle - my recovery has pretty much mirrored your experience and it was such a huge reassurance to be prepared and know it wasn’t going to be as uncomfortable or painful as I first thought. Thank you so much for sharing your journey! It put me so much more at ease when I was up the wall with anxiety pre op ❤️‍🩹

Please i will be happy if you reply me , I'm going for a vitrectomy tomorrow and honestly I'm worried, I'm a Nigerian 24 years old

I'm a Nigerian and I will be going for vitrectomy tomorrow and honesty I'm worried

Absolutely loved this blog! Thanks for putting it together. ❤ Do you know what mascara you are wearing?

I guess I’m another algorithm subscriber 😂

Great job TRUDEAU . Kudos to you trying to make it work in an expensive City that shouldn't be this expensive.

Trying to budget myself. I was putting alcohol into a food category. But now I put it into an entertainment category.

Sister do you gave myopia from childhood please reply

2800 a month on rent for a 1 bedroom. Ouch!!! I pay 1100 for a 1 bedroom (1 indoor parking space + 1 in unit storage room) 8 blocks away from the Parliament buildings in Ottawa. Although your place looks bigger.

WHAT WAS THE SYMPTOMS OF RETINAL DETACHMENT

I had a horseshoe retinitier and they did laser surgery on my right eye . if there were the laser surgery he said that you would see a little dim out that one eye for a few minutes and then it would go away and fade and it did . only asked for a couple of seconds . after the laser surgery for one or two days I felt like there was something in my eye like some seeing or something like that but not it just felt like when you have an eyelash in your eye . I put a cold rag on my right eye for about 2 or 3 days that feeling of having an eyelash in your eye or something in your eye subsided in 1 to 2 days . I didn't have any swelling or anything like that and I wasn't in pain afterwards when I went back home . After the surgery when I went in the waiting room the doctor said that you would feel like you would have a headache and that was about it and then when I went home that's decided I just went to go lay down for the rest of the day and I got up and felt like a little bit better no headache at all that went away it just felt like there was like a little speck in my eye . but as I said I put a cold wash rag on my right eye and within a few days that feeling went away . and the doctor just didn't tell me anything like ain't no dues or nonsense or anything like that he just said go about your normal life just don't go scuba diving or swimming but other than that I was okay

When do all the redness go away? I’m four months post surgery but my eye still have a little redness. It always looks like it’s a little irritated. It doesn’t hurt. I’m seeing ok out of it. There may be fluid still under there. But my concern is that It’s not completely white like it used to be. So how long did it take for your eye to become completely white again?

This looks like it was a wonderful trip and it def make me want to explore Killarney, I don't want to be that guy but you gotta wear your lifejackets in the backcountry especially as content creators, people learn from your videos.

A whopping 14 dollars on lunch for the entire month. Nice try Diddy

Hi love from Punjab India

Oh man... I really need to tighten my own budget. You only spent $3K? Im in Vancouver and average just over $14K/mo

So , if she split everything with her friend and still spent 3K, that means 6K / mo for a couple. 72K *after taxes* with zero money put away for savings or vacations etc. The median household income in Toronto after taxes is $65,500 that's for the entire household ! All this increase in costs has happened since 2016. During that time, food packages shrunk, housing skyrocketed and wages stagnated.

Ive been waiting for your vlog about your retinal detachment journey

How is you vision now?

I have also this retina detachment surgry my right side eye when I was age 20 💖💖💖 thank you so much to my doctor I'm.so great full 🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️🙇‍♂️

Scleral buckles are wild

Pura vida

how long did it take for your eyelid to go back to normal? I was told I would have to wait 3-6 months for the eyelid to fully try to resolve on its own or if it doesn't, its then that I can ptosis surgery to lift the eyelid..

I am recovering from this just now. I am 3 weeks post-op.. I hated the first week as i had to sit and sleep in that weird position because the surgeon had to place a gas bubble in it the following day.. I still have a wonky eyelid, you did not have that 2 weeks post op..so cool. I am 36 and I stilll do not know what caused it because i never had any eye injury or there was no trauma to my eye. I will only stick to my being near sightedness as the cause of it because that is the only one that makes sense.

Nice video! Heading down that way next May!

Just coming over this video now as I am due to have a vitrectomy surgery in 3 months time due to diabetic complications I was given the option of knocked out to sleep or just a local anaeshetic I choose the local as I hate being put to sleep, I also made the biggest mistake by watching a TH-cam video of how they do the procedure 😂 I'm so nervous yet I know I have no choice but seeing how upbeat you where has gave me some hope 😊
