[Magdalen] Torn retina...

[Grace Cangialosi]

I was told that nearsightedness predisposes one to this, and that if it occurs in one eye, it's likely to occur in the other. That happened to me. The laser treatment didn't work on the first one, so I had to go back a week later for the actual surgery. Then a couple of years later the other one went. I caught that one with the first symptom, and the laser did the trick.
