Stone Wall II
I’ve been reflecting on what draws me to these images of stone walls. Recently, I suffered a Posterior Vitreous Detachment (PVD), during which the gelatinous part of the eye separates from the retina. In most cases, this happens with almost no symptoms, and in a few others it tears the retina. In my case, it left numerous large strands and blobs of fibrous material clinging to the retina, and many small particles circulating in my eye. As far as I’ve been able to determine, there is no effective treatment for this issue. A few doctors use lasers to break them up, but the results appear to be mixed, and I have other risk factors in my eyes that may make this option unworkable anyway. So I must learn to live with this and, in time, to see more with my inner eye.
More anon,
David
