How Have You Been?


















The good news is that the
operation was a success; we're
delighted, said the surgeon,
concluding another examination.
The scar tissue that now distorts
your vision due to surgery,
well - it's scar tissue.

This follow-up, post-surgery
assessment has revealed,
however, another pinpoint-sized
hole in your vitreous. We could
go with another surgery, but I
would recommend we wait.
That hole in your retina may
close of its own volition.

No Madam, I would not actually
recommend bypassing another
surgical intervention should
that hole begin to expand.
Ignoring it will most certainly
guarantee loss of vision in
the affected eye, entirely.

I am booking another 3-month
appointment for you here at the
Eye Institute. We will continue
to monitor the health of your eyes.
Your right eye presents well enough
for someone of your age. In the
meanwhile, have a good day.
