Oh wow, lucky you! I didn't know detached retina could be fixed that way. In our case, it was full-on surgery. I read about it after, they insert 3- or 4 needles/tools into the eyeball and do magic inside the eye! They really did work wonders and I have incredible respect for what they did. A month later and her eyesight was actually better than it was beforehand. I got chatting to one of the nurses while waiting for her to get wheeled away to surgery, and they said they've always worn masks in surgery. The only new thing is the patient wearing a mask. So at least the docs/nurses are being consistent; if masks didn't do anything, they were still willing to wear them 5, 10 years ago!

It wasn’t a detached retina, it was a torn retina which can be repaired with a laser.
Sorry typo! I did get what you said.
