Eye Can See All Obstacles In My Way

 


The good news is that I was in the hands of a very capable retinal specialist who was able to repair a tear in my retina yesterday morning. I don't have any restrictions in movement except for bending down or lifting weight over 20 pounds or exercising for a few weeks (the last being, as those who know me, music to my ears). I have a very gnarly left eye and feel vulnerable and disoriented. I feel as if I were on the other side of a ViewMaster, the tiny figure that is being looked at, clicked on, passed by. It’s also as if I were looking out at the world from inside an aquarium, the surface line of water sloshing across my eye, dark on the bottom, light at the top, shadows.


Read the rest on my Substack, if you'd like.

  3. Relieved to hear the Surgery went so well. Eyes are remarkable, I remember after double Lasik, how quickly the Eyes Healed after a Surgical Procedure to them!
