As the son of an eye doctor, a detached retina is a time-sensitive injury that needs to be addressed within 48 hours to prevent long-term damage and vision loss.

It's hard to imagine that he suffered this injury in the middle of the year and didn't address it then.

Official word from Dr. Siegel (the eye doctor):

"Full retinal detachments must be addressed right away. What Anthony Davis likely suffered was a small tear in the retina and an injury that could lead to detachment. They probably held off until now and fixed it with a laser."
