Everyone who comes here regularly knows that two years ago to the day I had an operation to correct a detached retina in my right eye. As is normal, given the treatment I received, I also needed a lens replacement in the same eye around 6 months later.
Not perfect but I have absolutely no complaints at all: the knowledge and skills of the surgeon and his team to rebuild my retina from outside fills me with massive admiration.
Well, a month or so ago I realised that the vision in my right eye had regressed: nothing like the same symptoms as the PVD I had and then the detached retina. More of seeing through watered down milk. I monitored carefully as I travelled away from home and did a bit of reading about what might be wrong.
In the end I wasn't worried but of course I had to see an eye specialist and did that on Friday of last week. The diagnosis is that my new lens is attracting gunge to it: much quicker than normal, apparently, the lens has clouded over somewhat, explaining the effect of looking through watered down milk!
I need to have to lens laser zapped now so I am waiting for that to happen.
In the meantime, I am seeing things in a lop sided way as watered down milk vision is blurry vision!
