If I look directly at it I can't see it. If I look off to one side or the other it is really bright. Think I may have seen one welding flash too many when I was younger.

You'll be back to normal in no time, raising hell on the boards again. Had my retinal screening last week as part of my diabetes care. Just starting to show the very first stages of diabetic retinopathy in my right eye, which of course is the better of the two. (20/20 vision in that one still!) It's gonna pss my bosses off if the docs want to keep checking it, as it comes under the disability discrimination act, and they have to (by law) give me time off to attend the appointments. Get some rest, and get well soon! Cheers mate! Giz. A proud GPU User Server Donor!* ID: 1009498 ·

Just took the patch off to put in another round of eye drops. Decided to cheat a little and sit down in front of the monitor. I can see out of my right eye. Not clearly...but even now, it is better than it was before. Even with the eye drops proably messing things up a little. If it got no better, this might be correctable with glasses, and that would be 100% better than what I had. Hoping that time and healing might improve things more.

Don't cheat again! Don't mess it up! Oh gawd no.....I put it back as soon as I was done with the meds. I suspect it will come off tomorrow morning at my post-op checkup. Still not drinking either.

Mark, this ain't nearly as serious as your procedure, but a few years ago while cutting grass I caught a low hanging plum tree branch on the handle of the mower. It whipped back and smacked me right in the eye. Put a little cut in my eyeball. Hurt like a SOB. I had that "Pirate at 40" (ok, 50) look for 2 weeks. It was tough keeping that patch on, for that long, but it was worth it. Keep on keepin' on, dude! ID: 1009598 ·
