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.
How retinal detachment occurs. Retinal detachment can occur when the gel-like material (vitreous) leaks through a retinal hole or tear and collects underneath the retina. Aging or retinal disorders can cause the retina to thin. Retinal detachment due to a tear in the retina typically develops when the vitreous collapses and tugs on the retina with enough force to create a tear.
