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.
Retinal detachment can progress quickly. Because retinal detachment affects side (peripheral) vision first, you may not notice the vision loss right away. If not treated, detachment can spread to the center of the retina (macula) and damage central vision. Retinal detachment requires urgent care. Without treatment, vision loss from retinal detachment can progress from minor to severe or even to blindness within a few hours or days. Retinal tears and holes, though, may not need treatment. The retina sometimes develops small, round holes as it ages, and many of them will not lead to retinal detachment.
