eyesight report

[Diana Challis]

Hello folks

For those who were enquiring about my eyesight problems and hospital check-up. Here's the aftermath. I have posterior vitreous detachment . Some of my eyeball gel has liquefied and pulled away from the retina causeing a permaent black floater. Prob there for life :( Aparently very common, if very irritating.

Good news no current tearing or detachement of retina. This is what they sent me to QA to check for. Still might occur, so I have to keep a watchful eye (Ha!) for more floater, spot cascades, curtains and other signs that deterioration has occurred. I went as a walk-in at 9.30am, was triaged at 10.30, booked in for 2.30 done by 4pm. Dialated eyes meant taxi home and a bit wibbley tonight. Should be good for my show over the weekend.

Regards

Diana

Well a mix of good and bad there. Bad that you have it long term but good that there's no tearing or detachment. Also good how fast it was dealt with by the hospital. 

Look after yourself and take care

Hi Diana,

You've certainly been lucky in your bad luck so far! Glad to hear that your condition is manageable at this point in time.

All the best

Irritating about the floater, but it could be worse with regard to
retinal detachment. No doubt they checked for other problems while they
were at it.

Best,

Pete

Thanks for the support everyone.

-And the moral of this story is: don't let everyday business delay critical medical stuff.  Everyone get your eyes checked this year!

Regards

Diana

Sorry to hear about the problems - glad that it’s not too terrible.

Second the advice about eye tests - I’m about due (Dot-map corneal myopathy, diagnosed about a year ago following an eye test, just before I moved - also in an “annoying” category - “try thicker eye drops and it will probably stabilise").

Seconded the point on eye tests. I was getting an annual checkup because my father lost the sight in one eye to glaucoma. I sort of lost contact with my optician when I moved to Fareham and I need to find a new one.
