Thanks everybody.

And _Sky: Strangely I didn't have symptoms from the detachment itself though it was considered early stages of detachment. I would have never have known about it had it not been for my optometrist appointment.

Now here's a really scary part: When I went to the optometrist to get my new contact lenses, they asked if I wanted to have my eyes dilated. I said NO (because I had to go back to work and it gives me a migraine, etc.). The assistant said that's fine but then asked me if I wanted an "Optomap" done. She said this machine takes a picture of your eye -- it's as good as dilating without dilating. Only problem is insurance won't cover it and it's 45 bucks. I said "what the hell -- I guess I've got 45 bucks -- go ahead with it."

It was the pictures from the Optomap that caused them to call me and have me come in for eye dilation.

I could just as easily have said no.

Scary.
