I just went thru this in March. Went from seeing squiggly lines to no vision in my right in in about 40 minutes. Right eye was detached, left eye had partial detach and several tears. Surgery wasn't bad. Weird part was waking up during the procedure with needles sticking in my eye. They inflated a gas bubble in my right eye to keep pressure on it while it heeled. That goes away slowly. Took about a month for it to be completely gone. Four months out now and everything is going great.
