The Eyes Have It!
Sorry for the pun...but here is the scoop on the hemmorhage in my eye:
Bottom line, all is well. Apparently, we all have jelly-like substance in our eyes, which is attached in at least three different places. As a part of normal aging, this jelly will sometimes disconnect. It is NOT a detached retina, just detached jelly (did the Doctor dummy this down for me, or what?) When the disconnect occurred, it bled some.
In God's amazing design, the doctor said this is actually a good thing. The disconnecting has prevented a tear, and also prevents diabetes and other unwanted problems from growing there (not sure exactly what that means, but it is what I heard him say.)
So, there is no problem, really. If and when it might ever cause me to see floaters to the extent it is problematic, he can laser it. Now lasering might be a problem for ME, but I will wait until I have to deal it. At this point, he will re-check it in 4 weeks. Thanks, God, for something very easy!
