Can someone please help. I had a retinal tear last month and 2 weeks had it repaired. Now I have a ceiling like effect in the side of my vision. It happens all day long. The dr said it's going to stay and that I should be worried about a curtain or more floaters. Any advice??? Please

To share my experience... A few years ago, at age 63, I saw what I called "lightening strikes" in the corner of one eye & called my doctor. I was told to come in that day. After the exam, he told me to call immediately at the 1st sign of a "black curtain" crossing my eye, calling it an emergency. I also had, what I called a "fan blade" turning directly in front of me. He told me to "time these" when it happened. (the few spells lasted only a couple of minutes.) He explained this as kind of like my eyes having a "migraine headache." I will keep him updated, as the lightening strikes & fan blades are random & seldom. (I wonder, maybe stress?) I wanted to share my personal experience & I agree that a second opinion never hurts.
