flashing lights after retinal detachment surgery
I had retinal detachment surgery just over a week ago now. A few days ago I started getting flashing lights again (same as the ones I got prior to surgery) at the top corner of my eye. This started with a few flashes so I went to see my surgeon who checked my eye and said it all looked ok. But now 4 days later the flashing is on and off all day. Is this normal? I phoned my local hospital and they said they would see me at the eye clinic on wednesday but I'm worried sick that - a) I have another detachment or b) I will always have these lights flashing and just have to put up with it. Can you please tell me why I would be getting these lights? and am I right to be worried sick?
I'm very sorry I cannot find the answer to my question regarding these flashing lights post RD surgery, can you point me in the right direction? Many thanks
