Red face Hmmm . . . . . . OK then . . . . .

The question I am not expert enough to answer
. . . . . . . . . . still hasn't been answered.


Agree that if caught in time can be treated. But timescale is often pretty quick, not days or weeks. Might be in minutes or hours - retinal detachment is an emergency when it happens.
What if it occurs in a pilot ? In mid-flight ?
We are back to the calculation of probabilities. The probability of retinal detachment is MUCH greater in one who starts out as a high myope.
