UUUU Whooooo, how've ya been?

I'm sorry you are having such trouble with your eyes. I will be praying for healing!

My seeing is reverse of yours. I see fine to read but far off I need glasses. I am glad you are back.

I have been wondering where you were. I have poor eyesight. I now wear bifocals but they really do not do me any good. I end up taking them off to read things up close anyway.

I am very sorry, I hope they can help with the fluid in the retina. I am noticing that my vision is not as good as a few years ago.

Hmm. Not sure exactly what causes retinal detachment, but it is a bummer. Part of the treatment was a vitrectomy, removal of the vitreous humor in the back of the eye... Bleh. Good to see you around.

Sorry to hear about your eyes. I hope the doctor comes up with something good.

i'm doing good.just recovering from my surgery. this having to be not as active while healing jazz is killing me tho.i'm so frickin bored..

There you are !!! Oh gosh, is there something they could do for your eye(s)? I have watery eyes no matter what - it's annoying. And I am finding it difficult to read small print these days too. The kiddos just finished their first week of school, so we are trying to relax today . . . it was a crazy hectic week!

I have an eye problem also and it's bothering me lately because the doctor warned me to be more careful because of rapid increase of my eye grade and if the phasing continues I probably could have a more serious one in the next few years. Hoping that you are taking care of your eyes also.

Maybe buying a suitable pair of glasses will help you.

Sorry that you are having some eye problems. Hope that the doc can do something to alleviate it.

After reading a few comments I'm thinking you had what I'm trying not to get. The vitreous is attached by fibers to at least the retina and optic nerve. It may be attached elsewhere too, but that doesn't affect our vision if that changes. When people reach sixty those fibers begin to shrink. A large percent of the population will never even know this is happening. For a few of us those fibers can either shrink completely away from the optic nerve or the retina. It used to be if it shrank from the retina a person went blind, but there are surgeries that can be done now to save the sight. Years ago the patient undergoing this surgery had to remain face down on a flat surface for days. Don't ask me how they went to the bathroom. Now, or in recent years that surgery is so much better that the patient only has to keep their head down after surgery and even after they've been home for a few days. I only know of this improvement because a senior that lived across from my mom had it done and explained it to me. I wonder if the shrinking for you only affected your retina or if it already affected your optic nerve too and you didn't realize it? For me, the symptoms I have is flashing lights mostly at night when driving around and looking out either window for traffic. I was told to limit carrying heavy items even at work cashiering as that can make it worse. I think the vitreous can reattach itself if we don't overdo things in our lives. I don;t think surgery is ever done to reattach the vitreous to the optic nerve probably because one doesn't lose their sight. It's the retina which is located in the back of the eye that makes it possible for us to see. I did ask what symptoms to watch for to make sure the retina wasn't being affected, and I was told if I began seeing light in the daytime. Once in a very great while I see a small dot of light but it's very rare and doesn't last. I will pray that your eye heals completely, Ann. Can you pay a neighbor boy to carry those bags of litter to your house, or maybe you need to buy them in smaller amounts. I know it's more expensive, but better than messing up your eye more.

Your photo is lovely. I missed this discussion somehow. I hope your doing better with your eyes - slowly, but surely.

Beautiful photo I am sorry to hear about the problems with your eyes. I hope something changes so you can see better soon. I am the same but not the same. It is best not to moan and groan. Anyway I am at least getting some writing done. Yea!
