So, I visited the eye specialist again yesterday.


Dec 30, 2022, 7:46 AM

I received my third opinion. The news was not good but it could be worse and it was not devastating either. I am scheduled to have 4 surgeries in the next three months. First surgery will be on my right eye on January 11th, then 1 week later they will do surgery on my leftt eye. Then in March they will do a second surgery on my right eye and in April a second surgery on my left eye. I will also continue to receive injections in both eyes monthly and indefinitely.

The doctor explained everything to me. He said if I don't have the surgeries I will lose my complete eye site within 12 months. One thing he said that made me nervous, 1 in 2500 patients will lose eye site as a result of the surgery as it does not work for everyone and a serious hemorrhage could occur during surgery.

Anyway, the surgeries will not restore my vision but they may help with stopping future vision loss. It is a gamble but the alternative will be to lose vision completely. This was the 3rd doctor I have seen and this doctor was recommended by the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville.

I am thankful that there is a possibility this will help and that is all I can ask for.

Men at 25 play football. Men at 40 play tennis. Men at 60 play golf. Have you noticed as men get older their balls get smaller.
