Suggest Treatment For Retinal Detachment
Quest for ophthalmologist, I have had a few incidences of a temporary loss of vision in one eye, a graying out of the lower half of visual field, can only see from upper half for about 30 seconds to a minute sometimes. I have been nearsighted all my life wearing contact lens. Is this possibly a detached retina or tear?
