thznks ali!
a litle more explaining (TMI
)
My doctor is very happy with my recovery. He says the retina looks great, and the cornea is healing nicely.
I am still quite near-sghted (born that way) but with the cataract gone I am able to see much better. It was driving the right eye down to like ? 20/800.THAT eye used to be 20/200, And w eye glasses 20/20.
MY left eye had become the better one at 20/400- it was up to 20/40 w glasses, and
before this all happend 20/300 to 20/30 w glasses.
It seems, and some people told my sis that I might actually see beter than BEFORE the cataract because sometimes very near-sighted peole become less near-sighted later on in life.
Right now I can see w about ? 3/5th top part of my vision as the gas bubble dissapates. I'm now on the last 2/5ths and that should go faster again because it's a smaller amount of volume in that part of my eye.
I'm even seeing
more than I did on Weds!
Going between one eye & the other (closing one at a time) With OUT the glasses it DOES seem that the right one is now stronger (still quite near-sighted). I am comparing big lighted signs across the street, and across the subway seats above the oposite ones.
I am seeing some double images, but i know at least some of it is the reflection!
#warning EXTRA WEIRD stuff#
OK the cornea is the clear little domed material that situated at the center front of eye from which the
iris ( the
colored part) sits behind it, and the l
ens sits behind the
iris.
Normally we are not awre of our conea excpet for people puting in/taking out contact lens...
but this part is weirder b/c the "line" of demarkation where the gas buble, and eye fluid meet (and "slosh around" as I move) is continuing to drop further down as I look out. It's geting curvier, as it conforms to the lower smaller radius of the cornea.
I am ?
i think- sometimes I'm getting reflections from the brightest parts of the image I see
through the gas bubble up onto the
inner part of the curved cornea.
Eve if you do have contact lens - you (as far I as I know) don't experience your
inner conera.
wild stuff! But a normal part of this procedure.
I'll see him on weds again.
