   That’s super scary! I just read about this – no pain usually associated with it but I still can’t imagine. Hopefully they caught it in time!

   Big hype and a bigger flame out for Onuralp. Can’t imagine we’re gonna see much more of him in the coming years. I like the dude but he’s not very good.

    My sister had it. There’s a surgery for it. The recovery normally isn’t that bad. My sister was fine within a week or 2. Pain with the surgery wasn’t that bad and she was able to return to normal activities relatively quickly.

    I basically had a detached retina back in high school. I now have a Sclerical Buckle around my right eye. I definitely loss a bit of eyesight but can still see just fine for the most part with contacts or glasses. Just a giant clump of floaters in my right eye and a bit of transparent film I can shift about. Missed more than half my senior year in high school and wear goggles when I play basketball now (that’s how it happened, going for a pass in practice and my teammate poked me in the eye going for the ball).
