There’s a band around my eyeball, which is never coming out; I’m almost certainly going to need a new glasses prescription. No point in measuring for that just yet, because the gas bubble they also put in there isn’t supposed to be absorbed for something like another week.<br /><br />The retina itself seems to be fully functional again. I was worried for a couple days, when I could still see a dark pattern where the damage was, but that seems to be completely healed.<br /><br />Learn from my mistakes: if you get a big floater of blood that would look right on a movie screen with half-naked hoplites, or find a dark patch anywhere in your visual field (no matter how small or peripheral), go to an eye doctor <b>ASAP</b>. This doesn’t merely not heal on its own; it keeps getting worse until the eye becomes completely useless, and the repairs get progressively more difficult and invasive. I didn’t go all the way to complete blindness, but, yeah, way too long.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1406088964942152547.post-32449720217785464022015-09-18T00:00:02.210-04:002015-09-18T00:00:02.210-04:00Ugh!
