Detached Retina







The other day Joe went in to see Dr. Birch, a friend of ours to get a new prescription for contacts. They realized he was missing nearly 30% of the vision in his left eye. After a bunch of tests they found that he had a detached retina and would need surgery to keep him from losing more of his vision. The surgery went really well and he is recovering quickly. He is even starting to get some of that vision back. The doctor said in 6 weeks he will be as good as new.
