Get well soon, Leon.

Finger crossed. Get well soon Leon.

Yes, get well soon Leon

This is something I associate with boxing - though I'm sure there are other causes. 

[Chris Pringle]

Best wishes for a full and speedy recovery, Leon.

Three years ago mine began to detach, which freaked me out. They decided to leave it and see how it went and it reattached nicely a few months later. The human body is weird.

Wishing you a speedy recovery, Leon.

Looks like he went okay, just has to be horizontal for a bit

Thanks for posting that, Will.
I was wondering whether I should phone the 'factory' and pester either Dave or Adele, to find out how it went, or leave them in peace.

Now you've posted that.....I'll leave them in peace.

Cheers - Phil.

Oh Dear.  My best wishes also.  I hope someone can read out the Forum outpouring to him.

[Fingolfin]

Wishing you a speedy recovery Leon.

[Ray Rivers]

Also hoping for a quick recovery.

I know it might seem boring, but there is a lot of things you can do horizontal without the use of your eyes. 

Anyway, get well soon!

Take care

Just going to get this out of my system, since I saw the photo on Facebook!

I think I'm glad I don't 'DO' facebook,

I don't want to see that..It'll give me ideas, as I've got the Swann Morton scalpel handle that takes eye surgery blades....(Shiver,)......(and oodles of the actual sterile blades.

I trust Leon had the laser treatment.

[O Dinas Powys]

It was just a picture of Leon with an eye pad, nothing graphic 

He even had his glasses on

I think the pirate look is quite dashing on Leon.

Well.....I can see piccys of Leon's back garden where he's slopped some tapioca pudding into a 'pond', pretending that it's frog spawn...but I can't see anything resembling his impersonation of some famous naval commander.

Hey, ho....never mind.

[jimduncanuk]

I've had both laser eye surgery as well as the scalpel variety.

I couldn't see the difference.

Well, you wouldn't would you.

Mike, likely this was a vitreous detachment which is equally alarming but frequently can be left alone. It comes often to us more seasoned folks. A retinal tear or detachment is a true medical emergency and requires quick intervention. In either case seeing a doctor quickly is essential since the symptoms a very similar.

A blow to the head is a frequent causes of a retinal detachment but there is a strong congenital component that is in play as well. A sneeze can cause it in those more prone to it. The good news is quick treatment almost always brings excellent outcomes.

Thanks, Meirion. Found it, now.
Poor Leon. Hope it's not painful or irritating !
