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 a detached retina. Retinal detachment usually begins with a retinal tear, or hole in the retina. When a small hole or tear occurs, fluid from the eye can seep into the space between the retina and the back of the eye, which peels the retina away further.When the retina is detached from the back of the eye, it cannot function.n some cases, the vitreous gel can peel the retina away from the back of the eye, resulting in a macular hole or retinal tear. This can progress into a retinal detachment if left untreated. Injury or trauma Very occasionally, an injury to the eye or trauma can result in a retinal detachment.
