According to The People's Almanac, a fellow member of the HOuse  of Burgess described George Washington as about 6ft 2in, sinewy and  strong, wore size 13 boots, and had sâ¦andy colored hair and cool,  steady, blue-gray  eyes. The blue eyes can be seen if you ever get up close  to one of his portraits.
This is called a vitreous detachment, which in most cases is not sight-threatening and requires no treatment. However, a sudden increase in floaters, possibly accompanied by light flashes or peripheral (side) vision loss, could indicate a retinal detachment. A retinal detachment occurs when any part of the retina, the eye's light-sensitive tissue, is lifted or pulled from its normal position at the back wall of the eye.
Causes of Retinal Detachment. Retinal detachment is the result of vitreous liquid (the fluid inside the eye) leaking through a small hole or tear in the retina. When this occurs, the retina slowly peels away from the adjacent tissue, damaging the blood supply to the retina and preventing it from working properly.etinal detachment occurs when the retina separates from the tissue and blood vessels located in the back of the eye. Often brought on by a retinal tear, retinal detachment may lead to permanent vision loss or complete blindness if left untreated.
