I see a shadow

June 4th, 2009 at 21:33 · Filed Under Days in My Life, Medical 

Perhaps, the worst nightmare, I have been expecting. After an afternoon nap, I woke up to see a shadow at the bottom of my left vision. It was not black or grey shadow but simply shadow which I could not describe. It was almost 5PM and I quickly told LA to give my doctor a call and hopefully still could catch him at his clinic. The doctor told us to check in his clinic and he would wait for us.

By the time we arrived at his clinic, all his staff had gone back after clinic hour. He was waiting in his office. After the examination, he told us everything was stable and nothing to worry about and he gave me another (4th) round of laser retinopexy. According to him, he felt better to give me another laser to secure the area surrounding the broken capillary which ruptured last Wednesday.

After the laser, he assured us again everything was stable and I would be fine. He sent us home and told me to check in again the next day for a follow up. He also told us that he would not be in so another doctor from Terendak Military Hospital would replace him.

    I too had the problem. I saw “worms” running down my right eye, did nothing for two weeks, finally saw an OD who recommended laser treatment the next day. It was a tear, and was fixed immediately. I’m about to go on a golf trip in three days, and am a little concerned, since I’ve been “cooling it” for two days since the laser treatment.
