Re: Friday, June 1, 2007
Thanks, Steve. The opthamologist at MGH did tell me to stay on top of the situation, to watch for symptoms as well. And to follow up with a local opthamologist when I get back to SB. Meanwhile, the flashing has stopped, which may mean that the vitreous has finished detaching. The vision in my left eye, however, is a field of floating dust, with a few long fibrous pieces there as well. Bad in bright light, bad for driving and bad for writing, since the left eye is the one on which I rely most for working on the computer. The right eye is the distance one. The difference in actual sight (aside from the floater problem is not great: -1.0 diopter correction for left eye and -.75 for the right, I believe. 20/30 on the left and 20/25 on the right. But the more nearsighted one (left) is best suited for writing. It's really hard to do that right now. I should just go get some weak reading glasses -- ones that work for my right eye, which doesn't focus much anyway. Cataracts, I guess. Hope the right eye doesn't do the PVD thing soon. I don't want to be looking at floaters with both eyes. Having relatively clear vision with my right eye makes me appreciate how important that is, and how lucky I am to still have it.
