Richard Davidson, MD, professor of ophthalmology at the CU School of Medicine, said these incidents are relatively common and tend to occur in waves. 

“There might be a couple of months where we don't see anyone, and then all of a sudden, we may get two or three people with this type of situation," he said. "There's a variety of ways we see it happen, but it is relatively common."
