  Posted by airkerma  I agree with 000 or bust. This is a relatively minor surgery, and I could be wrong, but I don't think this really even compares with Belcher's detached retina.  I used to work at a convenience store near a medical center that did basic surgery like this, and it seems different for everyone. Some people were right back to normal right away and some said they were worse than they started for months. Same with lasik back then too.
