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.
Fluid is prevented from accumulating under the neurosensory retina, thereby preventing the retina from detaching. For laser retinopexy to be successful, the laser burns must be applied as soon as possible around the tear before retinal detachment develops. TYPES OF RETINAL DETACHMENT SURGERY It is not always possible to detect a retinal tear early enough before the retina detaches. When you are diagnosed with retinal detachment, you will be advised on one of the two main types of retinal detachment surgery procedures (which can be combined together if required): vitrectomy and scleral buckling surgery.
