Absolutely! After my retina detached, I had to undergo emergency surgery to fix the problem. While it was a scary ordeal and a long recovery process, I’m so happy with the outcome. Not only did my vision improve significantly, but since then I have made some major life changes that have completely changed how I live—for the better!

Firstly, after going through this experience, it made me realize how important good health is because without it you can’t do much else. It also forced me to learn how to take care of myself; both physically and mentally. That includes eating healthier foods to nourish my body and regular check-ups with eye specialists in order to ensure my retina stays healthy and intact. In addition, making time for things like yoga or meditation has really helped keep me in a positive mindset even during difficult times.

The other major change that happened afterward was that I suddenly felt more self-aware about what truly matters in life—family, relationships and experiences being at the top of that list! Instead of spending every waking moment glued to work or staring at screens all day (which obviously wasn’t an option following surgery!), I started dedicating more quality time with those closest to me which has allowed us all connect on deeper levels than ever before. And when it comes free time instead of filling up my schedule with events or activities just for show; instead now focusing on things like solo trips around the world or volunteering projects closer home have been incredibly enriching experiences not just for myself but also those around me too!

Overall while it was definitely one of life's most challenging moments as soon as everything settled down having gone through this experience has enabled me find out who truly am - something far more valuable than money ever will be!
