MGB: Eye surgery tuesday. quick service

Yesterday while working out side I noticed a floater in the vision of my left eye. I called my Doctor and got in to see him right away. He sent me to an eye specialist today, Friday. I will be getting laser surgery to repair a tear in my left retina this Tuesday at noon.
Since I have to go to the city, BC medical will pay for my transportation and escort.

Hi Jim,

Glad to hear your getting speedy attention to your eye problem. Best of luck and a 100% cure. One of the advantages of living in sunny Southern BC.

I just had an eye exam here (Sept 3) diagnosed with "normal tension glacoma" with related optic nerve damage (non reversible) and a significant loss of vision. My appointment to see the eye specialist, to assess my eye condition is SEPTEMBER 30 2010.

Oh so many ways I love living in the fridgid white north

Cheers Ric

Ric I hope that they put you on eye drops to relieve the pressure. Some times they cut a pressure relief flap in the eye.
Guess this should have been in off topic.:S

Jim/Ric

I wish you both the best, hopeing to see you both, in Oregon in May!

So much for socialized medicine! I make an appointment, go in, and stuff happens. Good luck to you both! And I hope Chery had a great Halloween!

Moved to OT.

Thanks Skye........... Somehow it seems this could be turned into a political item by those south of the border.
