Armored Saint bassist Joey Vera gave an update on social media in regards to his current health situation.


Joey Vera underwent a successful surgery for posterior vitreous detachment (PVD) on a day off during the band's ongoing North American tour as the support act for W.A.S.P. Posterior vitreous detachment is a common age-related eye problem that occurs when the gel that fills your eyeball (vitreous gel) separates from your retina. Blabbermouth

Hello everyone,

Here’s an update on my eye:

It’s been 9 days since I had laser surgery to correct a tear in my left eye’s retina.

I’m still travelling and performing but I was able to see a specialist in San Diego yesterday. He said the surgery looked good and that it was healing well.

My eyesight is still very blurry due to the bleeding from the tear, but he says over the next month or so it should begin to clear up.

I’ve been very lucky that this did not turn into something worse such as a full detachment, and I was able to see quality doctors and speak with several friends all who helped me get through this.

I want to send a deep Thank You to everyone who reached out to me or sent me well wishes. You all helped me get through a pretty scary event and your concern really made a big difference.  4 more shows and I’m home. Reno, Vegas, SF, LA. Let’s do this

Thank you!

It’s great to hear an update from Joey Vera and see his fans rallying with support during his health journey. Health challenges remind us of the importance of balance, care, and community. Taking time to enjoy life’s simple pleasures, like savoring Italian cheese and deli products, can bring comfort and positivity while focusing on recovery and well-being.

It’s great to hear Joey Vera is giving updates on his health—wishing him a smooth and speedy recovery! Taking care of our health is so important, just like taking care of our homes. On that note, I recently found the Best gutter cleaning Sydney service to keep my gutters in top shape and prevent any water damage. Staying proactive, whether with health or home maintenance, really makes a difference!

Health challenges can be tough, but openness and positivity make a big difference. Just like finding Vinyl tiles near me can help refresh and improve a home environment, taking the right steps in recovery brings renewal and strength. His resilience is truly inspiring to many.
