Nothing like having a bad eye to jam up your Saturday.

About a year and a half ago I had very sudden retinal laser eye surgery to fix a tear in my right retina that hadn't caused a detachment yet. I was very lucky. I had been seeing a round dot in my peripheral vision on and off.

After a disappointing appointment with my then eye doctor, I got an appointment at my prior optometrist's office. That doctor referred me to a retinal specialist and he fixed me up. He also told me if I ever saw new floaters or flashers, to let him know immediately.

Yesterday was Juneteenth observed for my job so I was out running errands in the morning. I noticed black spots in my peripheral vision up near the top of my right eye. They were not going away and I had a mini freak out in a grocery store parking lot.

I got it together, continued on to my last errand and called the retinal specialist's office. They let my doctor know and he set me up for a Saturday appointment at another office.

As the day progressed, I started seeing flashing light in my right peripheral vision, too. Didn't matter if the eye was open or closed

My vitreous gel in that eye has pulled away a bit from my retina and there is a small dot of blood back there. No new retinal tear or retinal detachment, but I have a follow up in 2 weeks to make sure things haven't gotten worse. Apparently the vitreous gel detachment thing is just due to aging.

Sigh.

I'm okay for now. Wondering how much longer until I get full on retinal detachment as I age.

Another handsome eye doctor playing with such a high prescription glasses, me i wonder if he wants to be an extremely nearsightedness like many of us, certainly this man in coke bottle glasses would catch my attention on the streets…

Imagine your F/O accompanying you to the eye doctor

You would have walked, you knew you would get eye drops and wouldn’t be allowed to drive,

But your F/O insisted to drive and/ or accompany you to your appointment

They gently poke fun at your vision being worse than usual, due to the eye drops

You demand they buy you take-out on the way home

“Sure”, your F/O is still grinning. Their teasing tone can barely overplay their affection.

You remind them it’s not like you asked them to come along, after all it’s a scheduled check-up

They remind you they love you and wanted to make sure you’re getting home safely, knowing about the eye drops

You’re stumped for a reply

They shrug like it’s nothing, nudging you that you still need to decide where to get that take-out you insist they pay for

You try to hide your smile, conceding that, okay, maybe you should buy them a meal

Your F/O ruffles your hair, ��Next time. Just let me treat you today, okay?”

antis DNI! This post isn’t for you!

My opthalmologist drove me up a fucking wall today. She kept wanting to reduce the magnification on my reading glasses because someone in their 30s shouldn't need something that strong. She kept saying that "shouldn't" and "age group" until I had to take a hard stance with her.

"I have osteoporosis, I've been through menopause, I've been sick with chronic illnesses since I was 15. My age group is irrelevant to my health."

She was annoyed with me I could tell. I'd seen another doctor in the practice last time as a fill in who was super thorough. For the followup, I requested that they switch that woman to my regular doctor instead. I don't deal with doctors who try to force me into the "normal" box and don't address my actual problems.

Wow! I’ve fallen in love with this amazing eye doctor trying coke bottle glasses 🤓 I bet he couldn't resist the temptation to try them on and experience the feeling being such a very nearsighted man
