Welcome back. Glad to hear that they discovered the retinal issues and
repaired them. That may have saved you the ordeal my wife went through
following a retinal detachment. She had one small issue caught early in
one eye and then the detachment in the other eye about three months
later. The 10 days face down was an ordeal for her.

So glad to hear everything went well. And the 20/20 vision is a bonus!
