TEN DAYS

TEN DAYS FROM THE SECOND INJECTION

Today is ten days from the date of the second or normally prescribed drug injection.  Perhaps I was expecting too much, considering the rapid progress after the insertion of the trial dosage. My wife tells me my eye is still showing signs of the hemorrhage and is red in the lower right hand side.  Yesterday I woke up to see the black blob, the trial drug; which has remained hidden, appear and float around the right side of the eye, discerning to say the least. But a few blinks and it stays hidden which is good.  My vision is much better in bright lights or sunlit areas.  The straight lines now only have one hic-cup, but the acuity is still fuzzy.  If I were to read an eye chart I would probably fail, yet the overall peripheral vision seems better.  Today I noticed an anomaly, I was looking out our front window through the screen and for some reason the vision was sharper with the screen in the way. Maybe the screen was bending the light rays?  Vision is still blurry when I try to read something unless I am very close, at ten feet it is all fuzzy with no sharp edges, if I were to guess it is between 20-50 and 20-70 or more today as I write this. 

As a right eyed photographer , it is frustrating to pick up a camera and see the gray area in the center, have to use the left eye for focus and find I am stpping back a bit to make sure everything is in the image I want to capture.   We will beat this, I trust the doctors and that attitude is half the battle.
