Whadda ya know... going blind.

Yup. Sorta sucks, but it is my left eye. There is a leaking blood vessel in there - picture looks like a tomato with varicose veins. My left eye has never ben very good, but now my vision is much darker, and there is a big fuzzy spot in the center of my sight.

My old guitar strap said Blind Tom. Wonder what's available in eyepatches this year. They say black is the new black... -L-

Going blind...Aren't we all.

Hi Tom,

I don't get back to this forum very much, but imagine my surprise at "seeing" your post.
Same thing happenend to me last October. It was a detached retina, and emergency laser sugery tacked it back on. Until February.
It cut loose again after a business meeting.
My doctors say it's old age.
Now I'm sleeping sitting up and have had to lay off my weight training.
I hope yours is just that and not macular degeneration.
The good news? Eyesight is not required to play the accordion (or fiddle or guitar, etc.).
