Diamond = Eternity?: Retinal Detachment III

Yesterday was really a good day for me.

1. My central vision is back to 20/20 visual acuity, means normal vision.

2. Dr Woo checked my recovery condition, no scar development in 7 weeks, means ninety something percents the RD nightmare will be ended very soon.

The official graduation day will be half year, around early August.

3. Dr Woo referred me to get a second opinion from a famous professor on vitreoretinal surgery about my diamond ring. In short, professor David Wong told me the ring is the buckle but the diamond is an uncommon symptom found in some young people, yes I am still young. He had seen several such cases before and assured me that it will be gone in months. Cool, this matches what Dr Woo told me at the beginning, it will be gone in sometime.

So, tell your wife not to believe the commercial!!!

Diamond is NOT equal to eternity.

Now, I am on 90 percents confidence level of near-perfect recovery.

PS1: If you compare the hurdles I listed out in Retinal Detachment I, you can see it all the hurdles are addressed positively so far, amazing!

PS2: I prescribed a pair of new glasses and expect to back to work around 2nd week of April


My recommendations today:

Both Dr Woo and Professor Wong are experts in vitreoretinal surgery you can access in Hong Kong. If you or your families found retina related problems, I would highly recommend them.

Common retina related problem includes:
- Retinal Detachment, RD (視網膜脫落)
- Age-related Macular Degeneration, AMD (老年黃斑病變)

- Diabetic Retinopathy, DR (糖尿病性視網膜病變)

Detail symptoms and description can be searched on internet easily.
Smoker and people with diabetic or cardiovascular diseases are in higher risk.
You should visit an ophthalmologist per year for regular checkup starting from your 40s.
