Vitrectomy
Due to diabetic retinopathy, my right eye is in bad shape. I've had three laser sessions and three different injection series of stuff to try to get it better. None of that worked so it was on to surgery. It looks even worse from the inside. Between a line across my vision from a bubble in my retina (which will go away "some time in the future") and my enlarged pupil (which I didn't know until I took this photo!), I can't see much. Hopefully this will correct the problem. However, chances are high that this eye will develop a cataract in the next 10 years or so. The moral to this tale is: don't become diabetic, it sucks.
By the way, this is day three. I couldn't open it at all just after the surgery. Yesterday was a bit better. The mister says it looks like he punched me but without any bruising. It's kinda shiny because of the antibacterial ointment I'm using.
