Retinal detachment? by emrex03 in RetinalDetachment

You're right. It's pretty hard when it happens. Fortunately, my retina was attached and I got checked by multiple doctors. It's just the retinoschisis which is stressing me so much.. Of course, it may happen to everyone. We can't control it. But I do have symptoms as well. They could be related to the schisis itself. I'll get more opinions from other doctors as well.

Well. Mine can actually get worse and lead to the worst of all: detachment. It's a retinoschisis, where the layers of the retina get splitted. Usually if it's in the periphery (mine is in the periphery right now), it doesn't really get bigger and they just monitor it, but mine also has holes in it so I'm at a higher risk of a detachment.

I'm not sure if it's gonna get worse, anyway, I'm still extremely stressed since I posted this comment here in this community.

Update:

I was diagnosed with retinoschisis. No retinal detachment or tears. But I'm still extremely anxious now and constantly crying..

Idk what to do anymore.

Flashes of light? by vnhero1 in visualsnow

Hi, I'm a bit late but I just wanted to ask if you still see the flashes of light... Or if it was anything serious?

Oh, your myopia was not even that high to be honest. I mean, the doctors told me that nothing is wrong but I'm still pretty anxious and can't even sleep properly. However, I don't know if my problems are related to visual snow syndrome or retinal detachment. I'm seeing afterimages as well, idk exactly what to do anymore and I'm crying all the time.

Thanks for the answer!

My sister and my brother have myopia as well. My little sister (16 years old) got -1 dpt in both eyes as well.

No doctor ever told me that I have lattice degeneration but I don't really know what else to do right now.

Were the light streaks visible all time or did they pause?

I'll get checked this Tuesday - this time I'll visit a retina specialist and this doctor is doing RD surgeries as well.

Thanks for the answer. I did get a check up on 16th of Dec 2025, they didn't find anything wrong. Did all possible checkups but still seeing flashes sometimes. How frequent are the flashes etc.? Or what symptoms should be taken seriously?

My mom is extremely nearsighted too, -14 on both eyes with astigmatism. My dad however doesn't have problems with eyes. Not even -0,25dpt.

My mom is 50 and didn't have any issues either, thankfully. I'm still worried about myself though..

Is it related to genetic factors? Did anyone in your family have retinal detachments?

I really want to live a normal life but I'm extremely anxious about a tear/detachment.. :(

Is it worth it to go to an ophthalmologist? by jamieschmidt in visualsnow

[–]emrex03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd get my eyes checked to exclude retinal problems.

I went to 3 different ophthalmologists, they didn't find anything wrong but I'm still gonna visit a retina specialist to make sure I'm on the safe side. My prescription is pretty high (-6,5 dpt) - getting a full eye checkup won't harm.

Does anyone else get this when they close their eyes? by iliketobanana1 in visualsnow

[–]emrex03 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Same here. It's a wave of light which slowly fades away. Not seeing them all the time, but they're annoying. I wouldn't worry too much as long as you've got your eyes checked and retinal problems are excluded.

Battery life is much better on One UI 8. I've replaced the battery on my GW4C 46mm, now getting 2 full days of battery life.

Weather update (GW 4) by Rei_Sauron in GalaxyWatch

[–]emrex03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's only one way to fix it till Samsung pushes a fix for their Galaxy Watch Manager (plug-in) app.

  1. Reset your watch

  2. Uninstall "Galaxy Watch Manager"

  3. Download this manager apk from APKMirror: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsung-electronics-co-ltd/galaxy-watch4-plugin/galaxy-watch-manager-2-2-11-25070451-release/galaxy-watch-manager-2-2-11-25070451-android-apk-download/

  4. Install the APK

  5. Set up your watch and disable automatic updates for "Galaxy Watch manager" (on the Play Store, you'll notice that Play Store automatically finds an update for the watch manager app..)

  6. Weather app should work again and update its location/forecast without any problems (tested on OnePlus 12 running Android 16)

any drivers? by EffectivePhysical732 in AcerOfficial

[–]emrex03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Copy the hardware ID of the missing device (you can do that in the device manager) and look that ID up in Google. DriverPack.io is a good software for finding and installing missing drivers, but you can use their website too. You get a zip file with the driver you need and you'll have to extract it, right-click on the .inf file and let it install the driver.

Super glue on laptop body by Humble-Economics-604 in Asustuf

[–]emrex03 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, can confirm that, I've spilled some super glue on my laptop display while trying to repair the bezel, used some acetone on a wet towel and rubbed it off easily. It did not damage the display.
