Slow degradation of my vision. Seeing a retina specialist

@rosemarya Thanks for your message, I am getting used to the system 🙂
I was lucky to see a specialist visiting from Canada during my visit to the eye hospital who told me that I was about to have a detachment, my vision was so poor, that I think I wouldn't have been able to tell. I did see flashes and very weird stuff. He had booked me for surgery the next morning, I was blessed to have him see me the day before.

That is similar to my experience light flashes and light specks when closed my eyes. That happened on a Saturday. I saw PCP on Mon. Opthamologist on Tue., Retina Specialist on Wed.
I was equally blessed because the visiting retina specialist spends 2 days each month in town, and that was when i got to see him. It was so convenient because he shares office space with my opthamologist!
