So I actually cried today!!
Went to the eye doctor today like everyone that read my last threads should know and it was horrible. After examining my eyes they found that my right eye has a detached retina
and that I needed emergency surgery on the spot to correct it before I had a chance to go blind 
They put about 19 drops of numbing agent in my right eye but the laser was the worst pain I have ever felt!!! A sharp knife feeling to the back of my optic nerve shooting through my brain Before the surgery I cried like a lil bitch due to not wanting to go blind and this surgery having a 90% chance of success! If it doesn't work, I have to be put under and stay in a hospital while they needle my eye and possibly remove it Not really in the best mood at the moment.

Know its against the rules and only half srs but this surgery cost me $2000 which is well worth it for the vision but out of my league especially if it doesn't work and I need to get the much more expensive surgery. If anyone wants to donate anything, your more then welcome. If you don't, not a problem, prayers will be just as good. Off of work for 3 days which is nice but sucks. Didn't get any pain killers
but they told me beer is fine so I'll be drinking myself stupid 
I have a eye patch on right now with a oozing eye. I'll get a pic of it later. After the shit went down, all I could see was purple and pink

Did OP suffer a sharp blow to the head? I know that could cause a detatched retina.

Both eyes?
My wife is now legally blind, it confuses some people cause she can kind of see so I have a small clue of what you are going through. Hey we got a cool dog out of the deal!
Here is a nice picture of my wife and her Guide-Dog waiting for the Charger game to start, Go Bolts!
