Throughout the year last year my dad had several issues with his vision in the right eye, including: retinal detachment scar tissue and a cataract which caused him to miss 5 months of work, well on Tuesday we found out he had a tear in the retina of his left eye. he had surgery to repair it and now he has a cataract on the left eye, this means he will be off work for a few months. p,lease pray for fast healing and that we will be able to survive on my moms income
