Recovery

I went to Kuala Lumpur today for my post-surgery examination. I had my temporary new eye glass for my right eye on Monday.

I can see clearly now but my right eye has defects due to the retinal detachment. I see straight lines not straight at all. The perfect straight line that my right eye sees appears to be crooked. I asked my doctor if there was any chances for it to heal completely, his answer was, “Perhaps, but the chances are very tiny.”

I guess I will have to bear with this disability for the rest of my life. One thing that soothes me is that, my short-sightedness on my right eye has been reduced half. It was -6.5 with astigmatism of 25 (I am not sure the quantifying unit for astigmatism) on both eyes. Now, my right eye is -3.5 with astigmatism of 100.

I have to wait for another 5 weeks for the right eye to settle down before the optometrist can quantify my right eye correctly.

    Hi! Was your surgery by an optometrist or opthamologist?

    Of course is by ophthalmologist. The optometrist was assessing my vision on this visit.

    Take heart warrior. You do not have any disability. Shortsightedness in your eyes does not mean short sightedness in your vision. I know you always have a better vision, which is required than better eye sight.
