My Retinal Detachment and Health Anxiety 

Glad you’re okay man 🙏

September 28, 2023. I'm having this done,,, NEVER lost my vision 👀 though.... I DON'T have t to keep my head down, even with a gas bubble.... I asked.... PLEASE pray 4 me. Little scared 😨

thanks for this video.. i don't feel alone anymore.. well somehow.. to those who underwent the surgery.. and the situation that we miss having a complete okay vision.. I will tell to everyone that we can all get through this... I will pray that everyone here will be fine and be okay soon..

3 weeks out from buckle - health anxiety is real and scary. I lift weights, ski and do Pilates - not sure how I’ll go back on that with a level of confidence

Read Bible and pray also helps to overcome anxiety.

Going through my procedures. I got my detachment in the early stages. My issues is the laser. I am not doing well with the laser. I am given anaesthetic before the laser but I am not tolerating the pain. Then I am also anxious so before we begin, I am in flight or fight mode (fight mainly). I feel like I am being a difficult for my doctor to deal with. Thank you for the story.

Jesus is the perfect cure for anxiety ❤✝️❤

What fluid did they fill your eye with?

Thank you so much for your video. I’m currently recovering, I experienced a partial retinal detachment in my right eye. I had a lot of anxiety and still struggle sometimes with it, but I realized how God is in control and it helped me greatly. It caused my relationship with Him to strengthen. How’s your vision today? Any distortion?

I had a scleral buckle surgery 2 weeks ago. I only had to keep my head down half a day but i did it for 2 days to be safe. My eye reattached and vision is coming back slowly.

the gases they use have no healing ability...why don't they use Oxygen that has wonderful healing for all wounds. Are the Gases they use healthy for your eyes or brain?

I've got flashing lights right now, but they say I don't have any tears or holes or detachment (yet), so we'll see... evidently lots of people go through this process of potentially damaging their retina as they age.

I've had mine for 4 years now-- and I've NEVER seen any "dark spots" or anything like that--- I'm blind in my detachment eye- but it's because of a VERY bad- old hard cataract... having the cataract removed and a vitrectomy same day this wED.. if I can see afterward-- fine.. they can do another if they wish ( he said may take multiple surgeries) but if i can't-- there will BE NO MULTIPLE surgeries.. I'll wear a patch and have a panoptix lens put in the good one and forget about it. I can't see out of it NOW_ so if after one surgery there is no improvement-- that's IT- NO MO!!! If I do WITHOUT-- big deal- I've done that 4 years now and am use to it. OH- and doc said mine on a scale of 1-10, mine is a 15 min. and will take over an hour instead of the usual 10 min. to remove-- PLUS the vitrectomy. He is NOT using gas bubble on me- using SILICON OIL instead- because it's stronger to hold it in place longer- and can be left in indefinitely!!

It happens very fast I had it done too.

I am potentially Having this surgery. I am in the middle of a huge family crisis and have never had panic attacks: roll and hit to the point of not leaving my bedroom as everything spins and I shake. Lying on a table for 2 hours while they operate on my eye?! I’m honestly not seeing it!

Thanks for those who had it done, how many days, weeks or months until you stop seeing a blur?

5 minutes? i had to look down like for 3 months dude, that was freaking terrible... I already had this operation, and now i again i see the black dots again.. Im thinking of not doing anything. just go blind

Are you wearing contact lens now ?

Hey thank you for this video. I started to have signs of detachment and i’m so stress and anxiety about it. How is your vision now? Does it get worse

I currently have this going on in both eyes. Two months apart from one another. I have anxiety that I will be winding up blind. You really should have gone to a retina surgeon right away.

Thanks for sharing. Currently on day 1. Difficult to stay down but doing it. Will look for the mirror.

Anxiety is perfectly ok after an eye problem, hope your feeling better

How long after your surgery were you able to wear contacts again? I'm almost 2 months from my retinal detachment surgery.

I had my right eye detach partially and surgery was like you, the next day which I was a nervous wreck. It has been 10 years and I see but smaller and have severe dry eyes. I know drops can be addicting but very warm compresses help alot! It's my life. Thankful to see at all. Your video was perfect. Good for all of us!

Just had a Pneumatic Retinopexy procedure on the 18 of Jan ( was injected gas bubble ) and returned Jan 22 to have the laser part of procedure. Was in the side sleep position for over 10 days. Wearing patches on and off. But seeing the gas.bubble take up about 75% of my right eye vision. And today started to see black cobwebs. Kinda getting anxiety, do not want to repeat this procedure . Especially the laser part , worst pain ever and awake the whole time. At first I was told that I had detachment but it somehow healed it self , which I heard is rare. But then they saw a Macular hole and I think this more the reason why they immediately wanted to perform this procedure.

Great information thank you for making the video (four years ago?) I’m using text to speech right now-that unscheduled vacation. Yeah that’s no fun! On day, 20! I certainly have even more empathy for people with challenges with vision after this experience. Louise Hay has been helpful with positive thinking affirmations thank you for bringing that up! Take care! You created a gift that keeps on giving!

Thank you, dealing with this now.

Did you have a haze over your eye afterwards with millions of dots, how long did it go away? thanks.

@Tres Adams, thanks for making this video Hope your eye fully recovered Have 2 questions 1. I have undergone a surgery to fix retina from bad detachment in my right eye - almost 4 weeks after surgery, I do have still blood or whatsoever in my right eye, no vision except light perception, since my left eye vision is normal but right vision is blurry- combined or overlapping vision is a bit blurry- what does that imply? 2. How important sleep & mental health in contribution to healing?

I just got diagnosed of having retinal detachment yesterday. But due to the COVID pandemic, there are no available doctors/facilities that could accommodate me despite its urgency. I am panicking and paranoid about being told to undergo Vitrectomy. But THANK YOU for your encouraging words. I am really scared but looking forward to have this procedure done in order for my vision to go back to normal.

You only had to lay face for a week?! I have eye surgery this Thursday. And my doctor said I would have to lay face down for at least a month or two. Why did you only have to do that for a week with a gas bubble in your eye?

How is your eyesight now ? Did you try peptides like Visoluten and Retinalamin ?

Thank you for this video. Hope youre still well!

Thanks for the description and the mirror suggestion.

Now are u allowed to lift weights ?

Really appreciate your story.

is straight line still straight after the surgery?

How much time gas bubble seen in your eyes

Did you cure your retina?

Great clip !!

Glad to see you healed up man. Im going through this now and yea! Anxiety? OMG. Ive never had anxiety until this year and its so bad. Panic attacks, anxiety. Im on forced vacation and out of time now too. My detachment happened the day before Thanksgiving 2022. Rushed to surgery right then and there. Pneumatic Retinopexy. Gas bubble. Cryo. Laser. So today is day 11 and my eyesght in my right eye looking thru the bubble is awful bt Dr says everything is going along perfectly.

You mentioned that you noticed after working out. Can you still work out like before? I’ve just had this done, but with very little posturing (2 hours 3 times a day for 2 days) and I lift frequently. Doctor says I’ll be able to lift again but I’m naturally cautious.

thanks for sharing, by curiosity, are you myopic?

Hi so I had the surgery but I feel like my right eye is significantly smaller post vitorectomy do you face that for a while and if yes when did the physicals appearance of the eye change

What is your age man ?

Hello Christian, how was your vision after surgeon ? How long took your vision recovery ?
