So now I'm rapidly going blind in my OTHER eye

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

Just a month after I got a contact lens and was actually able to SEE again, my "good" eye is now rapidly clouding.

I predict another needle in my eye at my eye clinic next week.

And I was SO looking forward to driving again...

1. I would happily give you my eyesight..I NEVER go anywhere

I only do my job on the internet..and mostly get stuff from it...

I need very little to see....I hope you the best!

2. I'm so sorry, Prisoner_Number_Six.

3. So will another needle help?

Does is restore eyesight or just stop degeneration?

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

5. It never did much good in my other eye

It was just a step in the doctor's process.

6. Does it hurt?

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

7. Surprisingly, no.

It's frightening, but relatively painless.

[graywarrior]

8. Just the thought of it makes me cringe

I know two people who have had that treatment.

4. I am so sorry, my dear Prisoner_Number_Six...

I hope they can fix it so you can drive...

[Sekhmets Daughter]

9. Oh that's just awful...

I'm so sorry. Not being able to drive makes one feel so trapped. I hope this eye recovers quickly from the procedure next week, and that you are back on the road asap.

11. "Trapped" is the exact word I use.

I feel imprisoned. I have dreams about riding my motorcycle into the Tennessee hills again...

[Sekhmets Daughter]

12. How long has it been since you were last able to drive? n/t

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

14. Over 2 years

Seems a lifetime.

[Sekhmets Daughter]

15. Oh god...I'd be totally

stir crazy by now! I wish there was something I could do to help!

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

16. You just did it.

13. Wish I had a wand .......................

my best wishes and hopes for your problems to clear up!

17. Had my right eye fixed back in March.....

Cataract surgery. Surgery was a success, so I see fine out of my right eye.

My left eye is just about worthless now, though. I'm on the waiting list for that one.



Best of luck, Pris. Losing my sight was always one of my worst fears.

[fizzgig]

18. i can't imagine the frustration you must be feeling

i hope the doc is able to fix you up.

all my best to you

19. Sorry to hear that. Is this a cataract?

That's what it sounds like from your description of cloudiness. You said the operation didn't do much for your other eye. How long ago was that done to the other eye. Usually cataract surgery should restore pretty good vision.

20. Sending out good vibes for eyes...
