Tuesday June 10, 2008 So as I wrote in my last entry I had surgery number four on my right eye in attempt to re-attach my retina. I guess the good news is that after a month (as of last Wed.) the retina is still attached. I'd never made it past 10 days before so that's good. Unfortunately something is wrong although we don't know what. My vision never improved after this surgery. In fact it was better the day after the surgery than it has been since. The Dr. is quite surprised.
After last week's visit my wife had noticed something about my eye that we'd never noticed before which is the real subject of this entry.

Now I do have to wonder if at least part of my poor vision is related to how distorted the pupil is. It surely isn't helping. If you look really close at the photo (not that I'm recommending it because I'll admit it's making me ill) you can see three places were they made incisions in the eye two on the right side, upper and lower and one on the upper left. I've been on dilating drops on and off for four months now (mostly on) and my guess is that the muscles controlling the iris are pretty confused at this point. I've been on these drops so long that its normal to expect it to be weeks before the iris is back to normal. At the moment I've been off the drops for 4 days and I can't tell a bit of difference.
