It's a PVD (posterior vitreous detachment). Seeing a retinal specialist next
week to make sure the retina is OK.
I really felt that he was going to tell me that I had a new floater - "live
with it". And if it had not been for the bar of light at the extreme of my
peripheral vision I wouldn't have gone to the doctor. Glad I did now, as I
am very attached to my eyesight. <g> When I had glasses put on my face when
I was 12 years old and the world shrank down from a huge fur-ball blur into
tiny, distinct "things" I wanted to cry. I love seeing!
It still might not be anything, but I'm sure not waiting around twiddling my
thumbs to wait and see if the retina starts to detach!
The joke of the day is he told me to please not do any strenuous exercising
or running until I see the retinal guy. HA HA HA. As if.

It's a good thing you went!
When you were talking about the first time you got glasses, it
reminded me of when my daughter got her first pair. She had us
convinced she didn't need glasses despite the nurse at school saying
she didn't do well on her eye exam. I finally took her for an exam
just to get the nurse off our backs. When they did the pictures on
the wall, and she mistook a birthday cake for a flag, I could have
cried. She cried all the way to the doctor's office because she
didn't want glasses. Then when she could see through the lenses, she
didn't complain anymore, and when we picked them out, she seemed okay
with it. When we went back to pick up her glasses, I kept hearing
"ooh!" and "oh wow!" from the back seat on the way home. Finally she
said "Mom, I have my head against the back of the seat back here, and
I can see what time it is on the radio." And "Mom, I can see leaves
on the trees!" I felt so horrible for not taking her in sooner.
After that she really improved her grades, and now she's in the TAG
program.
