Sight

Yesterday I mentioned that I eat lots of blueberries for their lutein. May I encourage you to protect your vision as best as you can? Your retina is extremely important. Imagine having to live without it? Blind? 
Having been totally blind in my left eye for three days in December 1992,  I can tell you first hand that losing ones' sight is very scary. Thanks to  an innovative retinal surgeon my curled up and detached retina was "lasered" back onto my eyeball on December 23rd. It took three weeks before I saw any  light and three more before I could vaguely see my surgeon's two fingers shaped in a V. He was ecstatic and told why. He had experimented. Normally the severely curled retina would be written off as not repairable but he decided to try something never done before. There was nothing to loose and so much to gain . He reattached some bits and pieces of what he could uncurl and removed my vitreous (seems we can see without those). My good outcome meant he could use this procedure with a positive outcome. What a great gift!  After a few months I began to regain  more sight and a high myopia  (-24)  external lens correction got me to the second row of letters on the chart. But at least I had some sight.  In May 2000 a cataract surgeon took a chance and implanted an artificial lens while removing  a cataract. That's when the eye got high definition  20/20 vision for some time. It changed in May 2010. Now my retinal and the cataract health need lots of  extra lutein Kleinste Motte.
