You do not hang around with a detached retina, if it starts peeling it is like stripping wallpaper....
In 2001 England I was told at my local hospital I had a detached retina, the doctor said, go home, pack a few things and get to St. Thomas's Hospital, London S.A.P, they are expecting you. I was operated on that late night.
So, 2 retina probs operated on at night, one in London, one in LOS, no hanging around.
