@mjp0512 I had a lingering cold and coughed hard for several weeks (I don't cough normally with my spinal fusion, because my chest can't accordion like most people's do). The opthomologist said that was a possible cause, but she didn't sound too convinced. Most of the time these just happen.

@northoftheborder Yup, especially if you are extremely nearsighted like I am. My ophthalmologist said that it ‘probably’ will happen but you can’t really do anything until it does. Excellent prognosis, though, so you are gonna be fine. Best,
