Hey guys, I'm sorry I haven't been on much. My life has been turned upside down and I'm trying to figure out what's next for me.
I've been having vision problems for about the last year. Whenever I read or use my eyes heavily for a few minutes, I start seeing double. My eye doc told me I have cataracts and needed surgery on both eyes. I also have glaucoma, which was diagnosed when I was in my early 30's about 20 years ago.
on the 19th, I had surgery on my right eye and things didn't go well. My Iris detached and is just floating around my eye. He told me he has been doing eye surgery for 25 years and has never seen that happen.
I'm pretty much blind in my right eye now. Although my vision is not as milky as it was the day after surgery.
I will be seeing a specialist in a few days to find out if it can be fixed. I'm on FMLA from work because the nature of my job requires me to be able to see well. I'm not sure what the future holds for me, but I am trying not to freak out and I'm taking things one day at a time.
If you wouldn't mind, I could use your thoughts and prayers.

I've had a few eye surgeries over the years but nothing like that. Prayers and best wished to you & your opthalmic team. The advances in eye surgical techniques is impressive and hopefully a solution to your crisis will come soon to hand.
God bless & good luck,
Clay
