I had hit myself in the eye with the pipe of a blower vac while pulling it apart. I thought i had lost my eye but to my amazement i just had a bruise and thought nothing of it. Later that night i all of a sudden started seeing floaters in my vision. A lot of floaters that made it look like looking through a flyscreen and then more like an oil slick. I slept thinking it would go away over night and when i woke i googled what had happened and it said to go to ER straight away.
I presented to donnybrook and had Kirrily check me over and could see the severity of what was going on and got hold of the doctor K who is very good with eyes, after many tests he determined that emergency surgery may be needed. They booked me into the bunbury eye surgery and we headed there . After many tests they determined that i had torn the retina and needed laser surgery straight away to stop it detaching and causing me to go blind .
So if it wasn't for kirrily and dr K i would have lost my vision
