Saw the doctor again today and he took more measurements of my right eye and also "adjusted" the tension on one of the sutures. I read in an article (click here) published by the American Academy of Opthalmology that sutures can be used to adjust pre-existing astigmatism in the eye. Well, today, he measured my astigmatism and then, after putting a pain blocker in my eye, used an instrument to adjust the suture. It appeared to be a 'needle in the eye' but I could not feel a thing. He then remeasured my astigmatism and it had definitely improved. Wow!
The bottom line is that my right eye is now at 20-30 or perhaps 20-25 and he said it will improve from here. Amazing. My left eye, formerly known as my good eye, measures out at 20-80. For those who are reading this outside of the USA, here is a link to a Wikipedia article explaining how to convert these numbers.
Amazing, simply amazing.
On a totally different topic, this blog is automatically sent to some of my readers (limit of 10) when I push the "post" button. And, some of them complained about yesterday's picture not being visible in the email. This morning I included instructions for that group of 10 to go to the blog to see images if the email failed.
