Did you know that retinal detachment can occur spontaneously in the elderly or the very near-sighted?
Yep. It happened to my dad a couple of years ago. He had laser surgery to correct it and he loves to tell the story about how he was awake for the entire procedure and he felt like his eyeball was going to pop completely out of the socket.
