Bit of a depressing message from Eye Doctor #6 of 8 today - he confirmed the cornea is irreparably scarred (though he also said it was minor scarring so...it could have been worse, obviously). Apparently I have large pupils which is why I have problems when the light gets dimmer as then the scars come into view, as it were. He's given me some eye drops to contract the pupil so I can try that when I know I'm going to be driving in the dark, or on rainy days.

Otherwise, I carry on seeing double/reflections in that eye as the optician said the new lenses are teh best he can do to correct my vision.

And I have to keep taking the anti virals...maybe indefinitely... which is a real bummer. Can't give blood while I'm on the tablets. :-(

Oh well. Worse things happen at sea.

It's easy to miss things! I think I've been lucky to get off so lightly - and most of the time it isn't stopping me doing things - but I'm still scared of it getting worse. Nearly everything I enjoy doing relies on being able to see!
