I've an acquaintance who is a retinologist. She readily reattaches retinas on a regular basis. I'm in awe of someone who can restore a person's sight. She thinks it's all in a day's work, no big deal.

Glad your doing better and hope things stay that way.

Thanks for the good wishes! Definitely the faster you get in, the better the chances for a great outcome. Going into it, lots of people said they had perfect results. Along the way, I started hearing of more and more mixed results. I am a "far sight" better off even with my results being less than hoped for, and time may continue to improve the outcome ... or at least the brain adjusting itself. Miraculous organ, that brain.

Take Lutein 20 for your eyes , I'm doing this for the past 3 years .


Thanks for the advice ... I am looking for any and every way to hedge my bet. Currently still dropping anti-inflammatory drops into the eye. Slow but steady progress it seems. If it isn't one thing it will be another!

Tom,

That's a fascinating (if scary) blog post you've shared. I hope your recovery continues. At least you seem to have kept your sense of humor. (Only you would put an eye patch on an eagle.)

Be safe and we hope you get good news in California.

Greg

Ps, Did you know that I tagged along with Charlie for a return trip to Alaska this August? We did the Kenai Peninsula then flew down to Wrangle. Sorry we couldn't work in a return to Haines. I've attached one of my eagle photos from the trip. Consider it my "get well card."

glad to hear you and Charlie had a good time returning to Alaska. You have to get back to Haines one of these days! I will let you know what the next opinion yields.

Glad to hear you are on the mend. I can identify with the getting older bit. I have had to use reader glasses for the past 9 years now. At least not having to use prescription. I visit my ophthalmologist annually. My wife and I got to visit you, and Haines, two years ago. Loved every minute of the 3 days we spent there, and looking forward to visiting again,someday.

We are all in the getting older mode, if we are lucky! If I can entice your return, I am doing a variety of workshops in Haines now. Have a peek at: http://www.timenspace.net/workshops.htm

Cheers!
