But while eating my lunch yesterday I started seeing blood through the lens of my right eye, went to casualty and when finally got seen got whistled through at a rate of knots to the eye department, straight in, and then straight to have laser eye surgery. Apparantly if the tear in the retina had filled up with fluid my whole retina could have detached..... Reading is a problem so I'm probably not going to be able to read any posts properly for a few days, but just wanted to let you know I'm still around, and thinking of you all.

Loading up with my remedies and antioxidants .... Bilberry tincture, an antioxidant formula, eating lots of blackcurrents, raspberries, blueberries .... "vision smoothie anyone?" LOL Follow up tomorrow, hopefully won't need more treatment. Fingers crossed.

Bestest friend Posts: 3,420 Group: Moderator Member #75 Joined: September 1, 2005	Well my vision smoothies seem to be doing the trick Didn't need further laser treatment yesterday, healing well, follow up in 3 weeks time. Told the doc I was loading up on berries for the antioxidants that support eye health, might as well have been talking martian Ho hum! Anyway vision not completely back to normal yet but things def on the up. Spent a blinking fortune on supplements, but worth it, and I can go back to work. Just not going to drive for a few days, himself is having to chauffeur me a bit longer. Been told I can't go jogging (well there was me thinking of doing the marathon LOL) or trampolining, or lifting heavy weights (hoovers and saucepans are very heavy aren't they but a glass of w ine is much lighter LOL) But all in all

Bestest friend Posts: 3,420 Group: Moderator Member #75 Joined: September 1, 2005	Well I've kept up the "vision smoothies" LOL and taken supplements til they are coming out of my ears... perhaps I should say loaded them up the eyeballs But got the all clear yesterday. The repair in the tear in the retina has held, and there's no sign of any other likely rips so I've been discharged from the eye clinic at the hospital.
