Yeah, this one scares me. She mentioned something in the macular region. No diabetic retinopathy or problems with the retina. I don't really want to be blind.

(((Hugs))) I hear ya. So, are you feeling anything painful or weird with your eye? Is this follow up on something an ophthalmologist or optometrist found? Sending positive vibes.

Since the surgery, I've been getting double vision. Last Friday I had two episodes of severe pain in my right eye. That's when I went to the optometrist, she made the appointment for me to see an ophthalmologist on Monday.

Oh no, I hope it's not too serious. Hugs.

me too, me too!

Thanks Ladies!

+1 PF !!!

My BIL and SIL, DH's older Brother AND Sister, have Macular Degeneration in both eyes and she is blind in one eye; the eye Doc said that it is inherent. He checks DH once a year now.

Thanks for the support, this has hit me hard. Figured Alzheimer's would get me.

 

[Andy M.]

PF, sorry to hear of your problems. SO and I wish the very best for you.

Gentle hugs coming your way Princess.

Hope your not going to get a cracked rib from all our hugs!

well, I guess not, what with the social distancing we've got to practice.

Thanks Dragn! Nice to wake up to the dragonettes this morning.

Thanks Princess, they are a little stubborn but when they learn their jobs they are very good at it.

Okay, update. 3 out of 3 eye doctors have no idea why I had severe pain x 2 in my right eye. Same with the intermittent double vision. One did say there might be some retinal problem, wants to see me again in 4 months. That's it, thus far. One did tell me the only area of the eye that feels pain is the cornea and he did some scans of it as it also looked irregular and will have the cornea specialist look at them. No one mentioned my cataracts.

 

[DaveSoMD]

So no more info really than before. Gotta love Dr.s some times. [emoji2955]

I guess the lack of any bad news is good news?

So far, at least I don't have macular degeneration.

 

[taxlady]

So far, at least I don't have macular degeneration.

Or a detached retina.

 

[PrincessFiona60]

Or a detached retina.

That I would recognize, Shrek and my Dad both had them. But, yes glad that hasn't happened.
