Thanks for the instruction.<br /><br />Retinal detachment seems to be a relatively common problem.

So, if I have to have IOL surgery, it will be 7-stitch surgery. Again!<br /><br />Meanwhile, the reflections caused by the bubble are maddening and cause a headache. Sometimes, I patch the eye for a bit of relief, but I don't want to wear the pirate's patch for too long because the retina probably needs stimulation to heal properly.<br /><br />Now, for what I think may be good news: with a pinhole, I'm able to read large letters on the TV screen; this is a recent development. And, up very close, I can see every line in the palm of my hand.Always On Watchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08192688822955022541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-27540015303745311382013-10-11T13:29:21.813-05:002013-10-11T13:29:21.813-05:00Well, dear friend, you know what I've been thi...Well, dear friend, you know what I've been thinking, because we've been in steady contact since this unfortunate event struck.
