“By about 5 to 6am, just as when I was going to sleep, I decided to use ChatGPT for the first time [to find out what it was], and it gave me a comprehensive answer, even asking if I had floaters moving around as I moved my eye,” he said.
In Ng’s case, the floaters were not moving. Alarmed, he reached out to an eye doctor, who told him to go in to the clinic for a check-up.
Ng told us that despite the shadow in his eye, the patch was relatively small (“like 4 o’clock to 6 o’clock”) so he was still able to drive himself to the eye clinic.
“My heart sank when I started hearing that I needed a major and urgent surgery,” shared Ng when the diagnosis was confirmed.
