Thanks for the help guys. I have about the same number of floaters now that I had before the last exam, so I'm not really concerned about them, but the other symptoms are new. Anyway, I'm going to go get checked as soon as I can, thanks again.
Go to the doctor. It took weeks before I knew that my retina was detached. It wasn't sudden like you sometimes read.!!
an exam with a dilation would have picked up a detachment if it existed at the time. but you have new symptoms snce the exam that indicate possible RD (especially the new floaters & "shadow".
you need to go back in asap.
