About 2 months ago I started seeing flashes of light and small floating circles. A month ago I went to the ER after learning this may be a sign of a detached retina. ER gave me a referral to ophthalmologist, ER told me Retina was not detached and did a head CT. I didn't follow up with ophthalmologist hoping it would just get better. Well the spots got worse, so I made a appointment today and they got me right in. Just found out I have a small tear in my Retina, to prevent further damage I will be coming back at 4:30pm today for laser surgery. The doctor said it was a good thing I came in. Sounds like a quick easy procedure, but I'm sure I will be panicking
