My Weiss Ring and I both thank you.

I hope this doesn't embarrass you but Dr. Hagan I could give you a big hug. I'm still waiting for Neuroadaptation to occur. After hearing about yours starting to take place I have more hope then ever.
I know my Retina Specialist would tell me Patti look around this office. Inspite of your two nasty bouncing Weiss Rings (one in each eye) you still have the best vision compared to the other patients here today. If you had a PVD and got away clean with out retina tears or holes count your blessings. Others here were not sooo lucky.
I just wish some doctors and especially their technictions would stop telling patients Weiss Rings go away. Floaters can deminish and Neuroadaption apparently can happen but there is no trap door in the back of the eye letting those floaters and Weiss rings out.
Unless a technician actually has double Wise Rings constantly bouncing in their direct line of vision 24/7 they have NO idea the anxiety and worry it can cause. Having them wear a simulator pair of glasses for a week would get the idea across quickly.
God Bless You Dr. Hagan along with the other doctors who respond to questions on this webstie.
PVD is not painful. PVD in the abscense of other conditions does not cause inflammation. Yes a Weiss Ring can do that. I developed a PVD and a Weiss ring about 3 months ago. Two visits to the retina specialist and I do not have any holes/tears. Neuroadaptation is starting to work and I normally tune out the Weiss Ring. Every time a poster mentions a WR I see my own.
