I went to an opthamologist last December with a "floater" issue and the doctor said I had a slight retina tear as well. I went again to see the doctor yesterday and he said the tear should be fixed very soon as well as the thinning of the edge right next to the tear so I was given an appointment for Friday 4/12 because I wanted a week to discuss this with Wifey. Wifey called a retina specialist while she was at work and was told to get me there ASAP. We're going this Friday. Has anyone been in this position? How did the operation go? Any problems afterwards? My main concern do I have to stop shooting my handguns with huge recoil? Another concern is will Medicare pay for much of this? I actually have Highmark insurance and can't find a thing in the handbook. My next step is to call them to find out what I can. But, it is what it is and will have to pay whatever.
