Two years ago, champion golfer Jing Wang was teeing up his next shot when the vision in his right eye suddenly went dark. He was due for cataract surgery in a few months, so he assumed it was related. Just in case, Jing called his cataract surgeon, who suspected a retinal detachment, which can cause permanent vision loss if not treated quickly. His doctors at Scripps were able to get him in the next morning. Roughly nine months after his first surgery though, Jing again lost vision in his right eye. This time, he was diagnosed with a new problem: a macular hole, a small break in the part of the retina. His Scripps surgeon saved the day a second time and now Jing sees better than ever.
