My eyes have been feeling weird lately, like the past couple weeks or so. Sort of throbbing, but really low-key, only enough to be noticeable.

And I think I'm getting some vision in my left eye. For anyone actually reading this, I was born with a cataract, and though it was removed, I've never been able to see out of that eye. Considering I'm also so myopic that, without my glasses, I can't see clearly for more than three inches or so in front of my face, I have really crappy vision.

In the past several years, I've sort of been able to see colors, maybe general shapes. I have to be concentrating on consciously using that eye, which tends to make it hurt, but sometimes I could almost see stuff.

Lately I can see better. I still have to be concentrating on using the eye to discern what something is, and it's all sorta...dark-edged, with some grayish-white tint...eh. Anyway, I've never been able to actually discern stuff before.

I'm afraid to be optimistic. I've never particularly minded being half-blind--it's not like I've known anything else--but if I could possibly be gaining some vision in my left eye...

Eeee.

I didn't know you were half-blind. I like learning new things about my friends. :) I dont' know what to make of the images, either. Other than the usual boring advice to see a doctor, I'd wait and give it time. See how it goes. I hope it means the eye will start working, but it's best not to get attached to the idea until you know more.

Well, I'll see my doctor this summer, as I see him every year, and I'll see what he thinks.

But yeah, I'm half-blind. :p Doesn't usually come up in ordinary conversation. But while I do hope that I get vision in that eye, it's not a very fervent hope--it's not like I know what I'm missing. :p

I hope it keeps improving. Maybe you should consider going to a doctor/optimetrist, and get an opinion on what is going on.

*crosses fingers and hopes for you*

Well, I have an opthomologist I see every year, who I'll be seeing this summer, and I'll ask him what he thinks, but it would be immensely cool if I was gaining some vision in that eye...

Ugh my eyes are horrible as well:/ I can't see anything with out my glasses, and they get worse as time goes on. That'd be awesome if your eye got better, I've heard of that before! It could totally happen though;)

I really can't see anything without my glasses either, and that has gotten worse as time goes by. What seems vaguely ironic, now that I think about it, is that my left eye is getting better while my right eye is getting worse...

I just can't win. :/

I never knew about your eyes. Though, I don't suppose that it is something that comes up in most conversation.

"Hi, I'm Rynne and my vision is poor. Nice to meet you."

Yeah, probably not.

If it weren't for the slight throbbing sensation, I'd say wait it out but since there is that slight feeling, a trip to the doctor to be sure things are okay might be in order.

But that would be very exciting if you are getting some improved vision in that eye. *crosses all fingers and toes*

Heh. I used to tell people all the time when I was younger, since it was mostly just trivia and something that made me relatively unique. (Whenever I was asked to say a few things about myself, I would always say that I was a half-blind, left-handed twin, 'cause there aren't many of those around. :p) But I grew out of that, and now it doesn't really come up in casual conversation. :p

Well, I'll be seeing my doctor this summer, as I see him every year. I'll tell him about it and see what he thinks.

I'd get it checked out. You never know if there is something you can do to help the process or hurt it. Best just to check it out.

I have an appointment this summer (I see my doctor yearly), so that's just as well. :)
