Day Six, Thursday; vision is improved, less distortion and almost able to read with the eye. Came home from work and my wife and I went to a Lions club meeting of two clubs for the governors visit. Since I was the guiding Lion for one of the clubs, I was asked to say a few words. My wife told me later that you could see jaws drop as described the events of the last few days. I reminded them that because of the Lions before them, we built LIERI and endowed the chair occupied by my doctor, so thanks to the Lions I was able to receive probably the best treatment available in the world.
Day Seven Friday was bright and sunny and the vision was even better! Double vision almost gone. Not annoyed by the distorted vertical lines, that too almost gone. Tape off the glasses, can see the computer without depending on one eye, and I could again do the crossword puzzle. Hooray!
Day Eight, Saturday, went to the bank, bookstore and shopping with my wife. Bad rains yet the problems of the double or skewed vision of the headlights coming at me is gone. If I were to guess my vision is about 20-40 today. I write this with both eyes open and it’s almost normal. My daughter came to the house and she had to hear the whole story and made the remark that the affected eye is brighter and shinier than the other eye. “You have a high contrast eye Dad!”
She is also responsible for this start of this blog that you are reading, as she said, other Lions, doctors and people that share my problem would be interested. I will continue writing this, I know it will get one page in a couple of the magazines I am involved with for others to read, and I hope perchance it will be of interest and benefit to you.
