answer:Not me, but one of my good friends was rushed to surgery last week with a detached retina. He had been seeing “floaters” in his right eye for several days and then suddenly what he described as a gray curtain descended in that eye and completely blocked his vision. Doctor said he had waited too long to be examined and could have lost the sight in that eye. But the good news is, the surgery was a success. Lots of post-op do’s and don’ts, however, including having to lie on one side for a week and then the other side for another week.
