text: well i tore my retina when i was in primary school and i had to have lazer surgery - i was almost blind if i hadn't gone to my optomertrist when i did, another 24 hrs and the sight in that eye would have gone.\n\nBut i wasn't able to go to school for weeks and i had to stay lying down for those weeks .. i had to really take it easy so i wouldn't suggest going back to school tomorrow ..
