Vihaan Kumar, a 28-year-old software engineer...
Vihaan Kumar, a 28-year-old software engineer and avid photographer, began noticing a sudden, dramatic increase in floaters and flashes of light in his right eye, followed by a dark shadow creeping across his vision. An urgent visit to his ophthalmologist revealed a retinal detachment, likely exacerbated by his high myopia. The doctor explained that without immediate surgery, he risked permanent vision loss. Vihaan underwent High-Speed Vitreo Retinal Surgery, a minimally invasive procedure to remove the vitreous gel and reattach the retina. The surgery was successful, though he had to maintain a specific head position for a week post-op. After a few months of recovery, his central vision was restored, allowing him to return to his passion for photography. Emotionally, he transitioned from the terror of potential blindness to immense gratitude and a renewed appreciation for his sight.
