Jeez OMR , I see (oops!) why your post was titled 'Oh 'eck!' - your more polite than me in those circumstances, I sincerely hope you've got a good surgeon on your team
I'm guessing that sight out of affected eye is 'problematic' at the moment, so it's good there's a plan, is the other eye still good?
If we get a pair of cutlasses, maybe make MM walk the plank if he doesn't sort out the production tonnages
Thanks for asking - Standard IOLs fitted in both eyes 2016, in general, both greatly improved.
Left eye now is increasingly annoying, feels almost like I have a new, moving cataract (not possible) , or a massive translucent floater which is infuriating as vision quality changes from quite good to appalling in a blink of the eye- can cause whooping headaches
Right eye, now is actually quite good, but had a serious posterior vitreous detachment on Grand National day last year, everything just started going black going from bottom right moving diagonally upwards over a few hours until couldn't see anything out of it. Scary - and I couldn't concentrate on the race!
Luckily, had good surgeon (who practised serious degrees of expectation management pre op), but because the pvr included the macular, post op had to practise 'posturing' for the next 14 days to support the inserted gas bubble while the retina healed - 50 minutes out of every hour, my face had to be parallel to the ground - not something I would wish on anyone
Actually prefer this eye now!
To anyone reading our posts, please, please, if you have any doubts about your vision, or if its changed, go and see someone and get it checked pronto - if I'd left mine for another 48 hours, I would have lost sight in the eye
