The Eye has It

It Depends On How You Look At It
I don't mind admitting it, I am worried this morning. It's my eyes or, rather, my eye. The left one (o.s. for my physician friends...but I digress). For a few days now, the vision in my left eye has changed. My right eye (o.d.) sees pretty much like the picture above appears. My left eye, however, sees it like this:Here's Looking at You...or not

It Depends On How You Look At It
Part of my concern is that I know too much (ophthalmology was a big part of being a flight surgeon...but I digress...again). In addition, there I have a remote family history of glaucoma, although I don't think that is what is going on. So, why haven't I gotten this looked at?Well, until this morning I thought I needed a change in glasses. In fact, I had noted for the past few days that I could see better without my glasses. A few days ago, I ordered a new pair. It was only this morning that I picked up on the difference between the two eyes.
It is not yet 7 am here. I will try to call my friend the eye doctor in a few hours and see (at least from my right eye) if he can see me today.
Paddle safe...

Got to get that checked, Silbs. Don't know how you feel about Lasik etc surgery, but it's come a long way. I had my eyes done about five years ago, and it was like a miracle.
Yes, Silbs, keep us informed on what you discover. It sounds somewhat disconcerting, especially to one like me who knows nothing in that field at all...
Well, guys, at best it is clouding of the capsule left after my cataract surgery a few years back. Exam this morning shows that , in fact, is occuring. There is, however, something going on near the fovia which may not be reversible. I am to see a retinal specialist (who was once my intern) soon. I shall post what I know. He will decide whether or not it is worthwhile taking a laser to the capsule to make a window in it.
Don't know if you know my friend Pete Foote in Milwaukee but he does quite a lot of this sort of thing. Best of luck with it.
Daveo, I know of him, but I think you and Kristen are thinking of Lasik for vision correction (instead of glasses). That won't help here. My focus is fine. The problem may be in the retina. Let you know.
