Seeing what I can see (Part Two)
Seeing what I can see (Part Two)
12/08/2015
Well it looks like I have narrow eyes. From what I understand , I have a Angle-closure Glaucoma in the left eye and right eye. The procedure is called a YAG Laser Iridotomy or Laser Surgery on the Iris. Basically I have fluid build up in my eyes that is causing nerve damage and other nasty things. The surgery is to use a laser to make a small opening in the eye under the eyelid so they can drain properly. This will release the pressure in my eyes. I should have better vision once both eyes are done. I am sure I will still need glasses but I am okay with that. I am just ready to put this behind me and get on with life. The procedure sounds pretty straight forward. I'm sure my eyes will feel sore for a bit but nothing hard core painful. I will be awake for the whole thing so it will be more freaky than painful. They will start with the right eye this morning and then the left eye on a later date.
So I have a lot of crap to deal with but honestly.. I feel good. I don't feel worried or afraid. I'm nervous but that's a normal feeling with things like this. To me, this is just another step in getting my health back on track and taking care of myself. Plus I will see better and I can get back to drawing again! I will post a update last on this week on how this is going.
Oh and do yourself a huge favor... have your eyes checked now. Don't let this cause you to have irreversible damage to your eyes. :)
