Götterdämmerung : My personal Ragnarök!
Tomorrow is the appointment with my eye doctor. My GS will drive me. The one good eye has developed a flaw in the center of my field of vision. If that cannot be fixed, i am screwed.
And no, prayers are not required nor wanted. I could use a good bionic eye, though.

If the flaw is in the lens, it can be replaced. They do it all the time for cataracts.

sounds like macular degeneration
Yes, I had it done a few years ago. I think this is diabetic retinopathy, the gremlin in every diabetic's life.
@Spinliesel Uh Oh, I sure hope not. I don't know if there's anything they can do about that. I go back in April to find out what the anomaly in my right eye is. He said he doesn't think it's glaucoma and wants a retest. I'm also diabetic.
@sewchick57 My thoughts are with you. You can treat glaucoma but nor heal it. DOn't ignore the appointment.
