So, I thought it might be a good opportunity to give an update on the status of my eye. No, it didn't fall out. Most of you probably remember from last time, but just in case... I had two retinal tears and a retinal detachment in my left eye a few months back, and then had surgery to correct it. You may even remember Nalod's pirate jokes. Arrr!

Anyway, I just was back for a check-up last week. The blurriness is gone. I still have some distortions, but they're not nearly as bad as they were. From the eye test, I have 20/20 (with glasses) in my left eye again. So, it's recovering nicely.

Now, as for the right eye, I have lattice (thinning retina). Doc is going to use the laser to induce scarring behind the retina so I don't get a repeat of what happened in my left eye. It's a very minor procedure, I'm having it done Tuesday. Overall things are going well with my eyes.

The end result is that not having to watch the horrid Knicks play for a while has sped up the healing process.
Wishing everyone well. I enjoyed posting here for a while, but as I matured I realized this forum isn't for me. We all evolve. Thanks for the memories everyone.

Good deal, Solace.

I was kinda feeling bad for you, for a minute there. I don't have perfect vision and it bothers me sometimes late at night but its nothing compared to your surgery. Eye injuries are scary. They sound scary.

But all in all, glad to hear you are healing and trust in your seemingly good doctors.

glad you're doing better
lol @ being BANNED by Martin since 11/07/10 (for asking if Mr. Earl had a point). Really, Martin? C'mon. This is the internet. I've seen much worse on this site. By Earl himself. Drop the hypocrisy.

Thanks guys. The amazing thing is that when one eye doesn't see perfectly, as long as the other does, it's not very noticeable. The right eye was compensating for the left. It's a pretty wild if you think about it. Somehow the brain takes two different images, and not only combines them... but combines the best of both.

And yes, my doctor has been great. He got me this far and has been pretty straightforward with me, so I have to trust him.

Blueseats, I don't get it

If choking your chicken ruined your eyesight and now you are trying to find out if anyone else experienced the same thing, then just say it

By your theory, that would mean my girl needs glasses.

Geez solace. Glad to "see" you are getting through this.

Speaking of "see", I'm gonna pop in some porn in the old DVD player. After reading what you are going through, makes me wanna see more pudussy while I have the chance.
