random light flashes, floaters, the works? Good for catching it. Did it tear the retina, or did you get to avoid that? (It can, as the gel pulls away.)
It's the reason I can't get Lasik. The studies are showing that Lasik speeds up the liquification, and I'm pretty sure it's genetic. My brother had his first symptom at 40 and my mother in her early 50s. My grandmother (at 72) and my father (61) have also had a fun time. My eye doc says once it happens it will probably happen again, and that's also been our experience. So keep vigilant.
