For the theme of #Bathroom and #MacroMondays. Two soft contact lenses in too much saline. On a mirror. Seemed like a good idea at the time, except I couldn't get one lens off of my finger. (That's it semi-crumpled in behind the first. And then with too much saline, the reflections make this look like almost like four lenses. The best of a series of shots.
An ophthalmologist mentioned that a soft contact lens is mostly saline, more than 95 percent. And here we have mostly saline with reflections and perhaps shadows and two teeny, tiny soft bits of contact lenses.
Can you even see what these might be? (The lenses came with a cyan rim.) Thanks for looking!
Couldn't help but enjoy the various fall colors on these leaves and the bokeh, just the right light.
I posted this second in the series due to the vibrant colors that make all of us cheerier. Like the first, I chose the best composition, light playing on the leaves and their veins, and of course the frosting on the cake...the bokeh. I had to reposition myself several times just to get a nice balance of the bokeh with the subject (the leaves). For me the bokeh comes front and center a bit more than the first.
Hope you enjoy them too.
Thank you for stopping by, flickr friends...much appreciated.

I had my first cataract surgery yesterday (went well) and the first thing I noticed was how much cooler some colors are....blues, or the blues!...bright and vibrant. Then I had to go to my photo stream on flickr and see these new color tones (to me:-) Wow.
But I'm kind of missing all the warm tones that I used to see....
The ophthalmologist told me that Van Gogh and Gauguin had their Blue periods of art when they painted with lots of blue....turned out they had cataracts. I assume she is correct.
I bought Linus a replacement feather for his feather toy today but he isn't impressed by the colour to say the least. You can see the sad remains of the old feather behind him and yes, it looks different, but I really liked the green ones when I saw them in the shop today. Linus says that I need an appointment with an ophthalmologist and he wants to choose the next feathers himself. Such a decision requires an expert in BIRDS ! The feathers are chicken feathers and thinking about it I have to admit that I haven't met a neon green chicken yet.....
Wie mij al een tijdje volgt zal weten dat ik visuele problemen had. Zo erg dat gedacht werd (ik bijna wel zeker wist) dat het om fixatie disparatie ging.
Onze zorg zit zo in elkaar dat je voor problemen met je ogen niet meer zomaar bij een arts terecht komt. Het is een weg langs de opticien, die niet eens een opleiding hoeft te volgen, maar meestal wel heeft gedaan. Dan komt de optometrist in beeld die, naar ik nu weet, niet de diagnose fixatie disparatie mag stellen.
Omdat ik steeds moeilijker ging zien en ik eindelijk een diagnose wilde ben ik naar een wat duurdere optometriste geweest die mij doorstuurde naar de oogkliniek.
De diagnose viel mij rauw op het dak. Geen fixatie disparatie. Maar wel dezelfde soort klachten die ook veroorzaakt kunnen worden door het langdurig dragen van een verkeerde bril!!!
Ongeloof: is het echt zo simpel op te lossen
Verdriet: mijn klachten zijn ca 23 jaar geleden begonnen en telkens aangegeven bij elke opticien die ik zag. Bij de optometriste die mijn klachten bevestigde, maar mij niet doorstuurde.
Verdriet: omdat ik in de winkel waar " allee de prijs is anders" voor een oogmeting kwam omdat ik pijn had in mijn rechteroog, geen oogmeting kreeg omdat men dat niet nodig achtte.
Hoe dit kan? omdat men voort borduurt op de bril waarmee je komt. Waarom moeten we niet net als vroeger naar een oogarts voor een bril? Of in ieder geval wanneer je klachten hebt..
pijn in mijn rechteroog (spierpijn dus)
dubbelzien bij achterom kijken
slecht kunnen schrijven
slecht kunnen lezen
moeite met verwerking van digitale beelden
moeite hebben met traplopen
geen roltrap kunnen nemen
rechtsaf gaan met de fiets ging lastig/niet
boodschappen in een tasje doen was ingewikkeld
in de lucht staan te graaien om een waslijn te pakken
Ik heb ooit een bord naast een tafel gezet terwijl ik echt dacht dat daar nog tafel was.
Ik heb inmiddels mijn nieuwe bril en echt, wonderen bestaan. ik zit nog in de eerste 2 weken van gewenning. Alles wat in mijn hersens ingeprent zat, moet opnieuw ingeprent worden, maar ik merk al zoveel vooruitgang. Was ophangen is leuk als je de waslijn kunt pakken. Het gaat ook zoveel sneller.
Nu het SoS thema soap on black background is vond ik het leuk om mijn nieuwe bril op deze manier te presenteren. Ik kreeg bij mijn bril het advies mee om hem gewoon schoon te maken met afwaszeep en koud water.
sorry voor het lange verhaal..
Anyone who's been following me for a while will know I had vision problems. So severe that people thought (and I was almost certain) it was fixation disparity.
Our healthcare system is structured in such a way that you no longer simply see a doctor for eye problems. It's a route through an optician, who doesn't even need to have any training, but usually has. Then comes the optometrist, who, as I now know, is not allowed to diagnose fixation disparity.
Because my vision was becoming increasingly difficult and I finally wanted a diagnosis, I went to a somewhat more expensive optometrist who referred me to an eye clinic.
The diagnosis came as a complete shock. Not fixation disparity. But the same kind of symptoms that can also be caused by wearing the wrong glasses for an extended period!!!
Disbelief: Is it really that simple to solve?
Sadness: My symptoms started about 23 years ago and were reported to every optician I saw. At the optometrist, who confirmed my complaints but didn't refer me.
Sadness: because I went to the store "where just the price is different" for an eye test because I had pain in my right eye, and didn't get one because they deemed it unnecessary.
How is this possible? Because they rely on the glasses you come with. Why shouldn't we have to go to an ophthalmologist for glasses like we used to? Or at least when you have complaints...
Pain in my right eye (muscle pain)
Double vision when looking back
Difficulty writing
Difficulty reading
Difficulty processing digital images
Difficulty climbing stairs
Unable to take an escalator
Turn right on my bike was difficult/impossible
Putting groceries in a bag was complicated
Stood reaching in the air to get a clothesline
I once put a plate next to a table when I really thought there was another table there.
I now have my new glasses, and truly, miracles do happen. I'm still in the first two weeks of getting used to it. Everything that was ingrained in my brain needs to be relearned, but I'm already noticing so much progress. Hanging out laundry is fun when you can grab the clothesline. It's so much faster too.
Now that the SoS theme is soap on a black background, I thought it would be fun to present my new glasses this way. The advice with my glasses was to simply clean them with dish soap and cold water.
Sorry for the long story.

Of course I ran away from the weather! In the past I would have stayed. Oh, I don't know. I also don't like too dramatic and too dark scenes. Less is often much more here. Yes, in the past ;) I should photographically work up what I have photographed in the past so analog and that gave me the one or other ophthalmologist visit. 1990 maybe times a new project.

I took a photo of this square in December when I went to see an optician and I walked through it again when I returned just after new year to pick up my new glasses. I took this from a different angle as I wanted to catch the last light of the day and that wonderful prop of a bicycle! It's a bit of a different experience in France from the UK when you want to have your eyes tested and buying new glasses. Here you can only have your eyes tested at an ophthalmologist and they give you a prescription which you then take to an optician who sells you the glasses, they don't test your eyes.

So, the excitement about the Harvest Moon infected me as well and I decided since I hadn’t taken any moon pictures in ages, the time was ripe for this. The excitement began to escalate and then turn into despair when I started to look for the moon around 8:30 that night and couldn’t find it anywhere. Not a cloud in the sky and I can’t see the moon. Do I need to go back to my ophthalmologist for some more work? Finally, about a half hour into my search which not only involved walking various quadrants in the yard but also diligently covering various quadrants in the sky, I located the ball of light hiding behind some trees. Well, that wasn’t good. By 9:00 pm I had lugged my equipment outside and was fiddling with some settings, when I realized that all I was doing here was re-arranging the chairs on the deck of the Titanic. The moon simply would not rise above the trees. Off to the truck with the equipment and setting off for a more moon friendly location. 800 metres down the road I find the perfect spot and the rest is history. Well not quite. On my way back as I pull into the cul-de-sac, I realize that the moon had been quite accessible this whole time from the front of the premises. Arrrggghh! Actually, not a complete waste of time since I found a walk bridge in the distance crossing the river that holds promises for some further night shooting activity.
The only question remaining is, who wouldn’t want to bring in the harvest whilst being illuminated by this?
My psyche prefers a set of three connected /3 similar photographs in a sequence whenever possible but just one a day to be fair to anyone liking something to comment on. So here is bird number 3 taken in roughly the same area as the previous two. I am afraid I shall be slow to leave comments because I am home after 4 hours extensive testing of my eyes at the Neuro -Ophthalmic surgery at my local hospital.
Still no closer to finding out the cause of my problem despite scans, pressure testing, examinations of both eyes x 2
All of this today....
Only to be referred to the Glaucoma clinic... this after the first test was for Glaucoma and where I was told I didn't have signs of Glaucoma. I googled my symptoms on reaching home, which at the beginning of this eye problem starting over a year ago suggested to me 'night blindness ' my Optician then an Ophthalmologist both said I don't have this condition but my symptoms are exactly that...I had been looking at American sites because the NHS in the UK don't appear to recognise it as an actual real 'thing' if anyone I follow suffers from this I would be interested in what treatment is available.. the suggestion the consultant thought possible being removal of the tiny early cataracts and drops for Glaucoma ?????
A few days ago I was on a photo tour in Meisenheim. The AF button on my Leica Vario Elmarit 12 -60 mm was accidentally slided to MF. Since I had gotten drops in my eye at the ophthalmologist the day before, I hadn't noticed it while focusing :-(
End result I was able to throw away almost all of the pictures. This is with my Pixel 8 Pro. This doesn't happen so easily with the cell phone,
Taken on a not very bright day, at my ophthalmologist's office. Johnny Jump Up (and, no doubt, other common names) flowers, Viola, belonging to the Violaceae, a family with pansies, violets, and other such plants. Quietly splendid.
Thanks for looking! Isn't God a great artist?

I had a appt. with my ophthalmologist in Kingston this morning and as we drove through Parham I happened to notice that the old mill was no longer standing. A large tree had fallen on it. I knew that on the way home this would make my photo for my 365 for 2023.
I photographed the mill (see the first comment below) back in 2015 with my iPhone. Just 8 years later the mill is now no longer standing empty rather, it is sadly in the creek.
I normally don't "process images" but considering the history of this Card's Sawmill that was built in 1924, and was a major employer in Parham during the depression I thought I would give it an antique image look.
The mill operated until the early 1930's when some unknown party dynamited the dam. Harry Card decided not to rebuild.
I may not always get to "thank you" or comment back on a comment that you might leave here on my image but, just know each comment is read and very much appreciated.
Lamp in the waiting room of my ophthalmologist. The light is originally much softer on the eyes, but I am in the mood to slide, and I suddenly have a crave for a creamsicle.😁 HSS!
As the Sun Sets on 2019, it is time to reflect and give thanks for all that we lived through...good, bad, indifferent. Wishing All a Happy New Year in 2020.
The Day after Christmas started with a 9am appointment with the Ophthalmologist...dialated eyes...a 3 hour nap to let my eyes get back to normal...a quick walk out around the pond at 3pm...shot some cool tree reflections...went back inside and got wrapped up reviewing them...2 hrs later....I got up and went to the kitichen...as I entered the hallway, the windows glowed a deep red...I grabbed the 16-35mm and tripod and ran out without a coat (not too cold though)....or course I was too late...it was a glorious sight though...and this what I mean when I see Miracles almost daily...don't know why I'm such a whiner...when I am so blessed. Note: My run to the pond was 100' from my back door...no lie.

Happy Caturday 18.6.2022 "Faces"
No week without an action story from Timmy - this time: Mixed Martial Arts :-)
Sunday night Timmy had not come home when I whistled for him around 1 am. At 4:07 a.m. I was woken up by a cat screaming and immediately went out in my pyjamas and around the house - in vain. In case the newspaper delivery girl was surprised, she didn't let on and really wanted to talk to me :-)
I went back to sleep, but was woken up again at 4:20 a.m., this time by the cat motion detector. Timmy was there. I only saw white fur on his claws. It wasn't until morning I noticed the wound above his eye. After the initial shock I dabbed the wound with tincture of iodine.
I had to go to the ophthalmologist at 8 o'clock - Timmy was sleeping on the terrace and I left the gate to freedom locked.
When I got back at about 10 o'clock, he had a good roll around and then wanted to go out. Before that he had to go through the iodine procedure once more.
Shortly before noon I decided to take the photo to the vet (it's not far away) and ask her what she meant. I was instructed to continue dabbing with iodine tincture.
The following night, Timmy came immediately when I whistled for him and the next morning he was in no hurry at all to go on his patrol :-)
Since that night, Timmy has come in every night on time and on his own - at 0:30, my bedtime.
Maybe he has learned something after all :-)
...for the owl and the orchid.
the Diana Instant isn't the easiest camera for me. I have a hard time deciding on exposure time, so this was failed shots #1 and #2. all I really got was the airplane plant foliage.
**It's been an interesting week.
Monday I woke feeling really yucky and I ended up sleeping all day. flu?
I was fine on Tuesday.
we all have really horrid allergies. even the dogs are sneezing.
my niece and her family went to Italy for a 3-week vacation and had to return after just 2 weeks because of the heat. my SIL is a trooper. she just had back surgery and was walking up and down the hills all day with her walker. I couldn't have done it.
my niece brought her mom and her MIL back home and the MIL tested positive for COVID. today my SIL tested positive, too.
"When it's COVID, paxlovid" says the ad on tv. they are.
it hasn't been overly hot here but, for me, it's been uncomfortably warm and very humid. so I didn't get outside except for some watering of my potted plants.
I finally got to see the ophthalmologist after waiting for 4 months for an appointment. the mystery stroke I had sometime early 2022 shown in the MRI I had this spring caused permanent cerebellar damage, which means I will have to live with jiggling eyeballs caused by horizontal and vertical nystagmus plus balance problems for the rest of my life. it's not noticeable except for me. [and anyone I might crash into]
there is no fixing this.
it could have been worse, the dr. said.
he said, "very interesting" and his assistant would nod her head to every symptom I described.
nothing like being atypical and "interesting".
I would sit down and cry but I'll only get a headache.
no need for comments, please.
Here is a flight shot of the Short-eared Owl that I found on the moors this week. In Britain the yellow eye colour helps distinguish it from the similar Long-eared Owl, which has orange eyes, though in North America both species have yellow eyes. If you look carefully at the eyes you will see that they are different (try zooming in if it isn't apparent). Its left eye is in the sunshine and it has a small black pupil, but its right eye is in the shade so the pupil is dilated to let more light in, and subsequently looks about twice as large as the other pupil. The size of the pupil is governed by the muscles of the iris and the main trigger for dilation is low light levels, as it is with most vertebrates. But in humans pupils also dilate when we are feeling amorous, and generally males find females with dilated pupils attractive. We cannot adjust the size of our pupil at will, but certain chemicals, for example atropine, will dilate our pupils. This chemical overrides the reaction of our iris muscles to light levels and is used by ophthalmologists to facilitate eye or retinal examinations. Atropine comes from the plant Deadly Nightshade, and its scientific name is (Atropa) belladonna, which is Italian for "beautiful lady", as it was once used by ladies to make them more attractive. As its name suggests, Deadly Nightshade is deadly if ingested, and is not a common plant in Britain. Here a flowering Deadly Nightshade that I found near Silverdale in Lancashire. www.flickr.com/photos/timmelling/3732267143/in/photolist

Goodby 2020/Hello 2021
I sat in my car to take this picture of COVID-19 posters on the doors.
Couldn't help but enjoy the various fall colors on these leaves and the bokeh, just the right light.
I posted this last in the series because there’s ‘a lot of orange’ and not much contrast, still lovely but doesn’t hit you in the eye with a Wow reaction. I think that’s ok. We need to just enjoy sometimes without thinking too much about what we’re seeing. At least, that was my intent;-)
This is where my heart and emotionalism enters in, depending how I’m feeling when taking the photo and then again when I’m posting.
I’m curious about you the viewers, what are you thinking when you take/post your photos...would like to hear.
Hope you enjoy the series too.
Thank you for stopping by, flickr friends...much appreciated.

I had my first cataract surgery yesterday (went well) and the first thing I noticed was how much cooler some colors are....blues, or the blues!...bright and vibrant. Then I had to go to my photo stream on flickr and see these new color tones (to me:-) Wow.
But I'm kind of missing all the warm tones that I used to see....
The ophthalmologist told me that Van Gogh and Gauguin had their Blue periods of art when they painted with lots of blue....turned out they had cataracts. I assume she is correct.

Hurry up and wait. My appt was for 10:15. I was about 1/2 hr early - one never knows what traffic will be like. I never got in to see the ophthalmologist until 11:15 for my one week post op follow up.
So, my right eye will need a laser procedure in the dr said there is a bit of a film forming on the new lens - he said it happens. This of course makes me feel panicked. My left - the one I just had done last week has bit of inflammation - he is not to worried right now and I go back on 4 April for a check up. He said the pressure is good in both eyes.
I appreciate each and every visit, comment and fave here on my little corner of the world as seen through my lens.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
See also: Photorefractive keratectomy
LASIK or Lasik (laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis) is a type of refractive surgery for correcting myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. LASIK is performed by ophthalmologists using a laser.[1] LASIK is similar to other surgical corrective procedures such as photorefractive keratectomy, PRK, (also called ASA, Advanced Surface Ablation) though it provides benefits such as faster patient recovery. Both LASIK and PRK represent advances over radial keratotomy in the surgical treatment of vision problems, and are thus viable alternatives to wearing corrective eyeglasses or contact lenses for many patients.
As you may have noticed, I rarely have a problem sharing things that are on my mind with you. But today I'm going a lot further.
Today I give you an insight of a completely different kind. For once, this is not a photo that I took myself. That would have been extremely difficult, even with my technique.
My ophthalmologist took this photo of my eye as part of a check-up earlier this week (I think this is the left one).
For those who are interested, here is a brief introduction to the structure of my eye.
The veins and arteries are easy to identify, I think. The bright spot in the middle is my optic nerve, the connection from my eye to my brain. My macula, i.e. the point with which I see the sharpest (for all photographers - the sweet spot) is the slightly darker area to the right of it.
Except that the optic nerve is a bit enlarged (I probably look too much because I'm so curious) everything is as it should be.
Wie Ihr vielleicht schon bemerkt habt, habe ich selten ein Problem damit, Dinge mit Euch zu teilen, die in mir vorgehen. Doch heute gehe ich noch ein ganzes Stück weiter.
Heute gewähre ich Euch einen Einblick der ganz anderen Art. Dies ist ausnahmsweise einmal kein Foto, welches ich selbst gemacht habe. Das wäre auch mit meiner Technik auch extrem schwierig gewesen.
Dieses Foto hat mein Augenarzt im Rahmen einer Vorsorgeuntersuchung am Anfang der Woche von meinem Auge gemacht (ich glaube dies hier ist das linke).
Für alle die es interessiert, hier eine kleine Einführung in den Aufbau meines Auges.
Die Venen und Arterien sind, denke ich, leicht zu identifizieren. Der helle Fleck in der Mitte, ist mein Sehnerv, also die Verbindung von meinem Auge zu meinem Gehirn. Meine Makula, also der Punkt mit dem ich am schärfsten sehe (für alle Fotografen - der sweet spot) ist der etwas dunklere Bereich rechts davon.
Außer, dass der Sehnerv etwas vergrößert ist (ich kuck wahrscheinlich zu viel, weil ich so neugierig bin) ist übrigens alles so, wie es sein muss.

Martyred Intellectuals Memorial (Bengali: বুদ্ধিজীবি স্মৃতি সৌধ) is a memorial built for the memory of the martyred intellectuals of Bangladesh Liberation War. The memorial, located at Rayerbazar, Mohammadpur Thana in Dhaka[1], was designed by architect Mostafa Ali Kuddus. During the entire duration of Bangladesh Liberation War of 1971, a large number of teachers, doctors, engineers, poets and writers were systematically massacred by Pakistan Army and their local collaborators, most notably the alleged Islamist militia groups Al-Badr and [Al-Shams (Bangladesh)|[Al-Shams]]. The largest number of assassinations took place on December 14, 1971, only two days before the surrender of Pakistan army to the joint force of Indian army and Mukti bahini.
Closer view of Rayerbazar intellectuals' memorial.
Foundation plaque of the memorial, Mirpur, Dhaka.
In the night of 14 December 1971, over 200 of East Pakistan's intellectuals including professors, journalists, doctors, artists, engineers, and writers were rounded up in Dhaka. They were taken blindfolded to torture cells in Mirpur, Mohammadpur, Nakhalpara, Rajarbagh and other locations in different sections of the city. Later they were executed en masse, most notably at Rayerbazar and Mirpur. In memory of the martyred intellectuals, December 14 is mourned in Bangladesh as Shaheed Buddhijibi Dibosh ("Day of the Martyred Intellectuals").
Even after the official ending of the war on December 16 there were reports of hostile fire from the armed Pakistani soldiers and their collaborators. In one such incident, notable film-maker Zahir Raihan was killed on January 30, 1972 in Mirpur, allegedly by the armed Beharis of Mirpur.
The number of intellectuals killed is estimated as follows: educationist 991, journalist 13, physician 49, lawyer 42, others (litterateur, artist and engineer) 16.[2]
Noted intellectuals who were killed between March 25 and December 16, 1971 in different parts of the country included Govinda Chandra Dev (Philosopher, Professor at DU), Munier Chowdhury (Litterateur, Dramatist, Professor at DU), Mufazzal Haider Chaudhury (Litterateur, Professor at DU), Anwar Pasha (Litterateur, Professor at DU), Dr. Mohammed Fazle Rabbee (cardiologist), Dr. Alim Chowdhury (ophthalmologist), Shahidullah Kaisar (journalist), Nizamuddin Ahmed (Reporter), Selina Parvin (reporter), Altaf Mahmud (lyricist and musician), Dr. Hobibur Rahman (mathematician, Professor at RU), Dhirendranath Datta (politician), Ranadaprasad Saha (philanthropist), Lt. Col. Moazzem Hossain (ex-soldier), Mamun Mahmood (Police Officer), and many others.

In memory of the martyred intellectuals, December 14 is mourned in Bangladesh as Shaheed Buddhijibi Dibosh ("Day of the Martyred Intellectuals").
Even after the official ending of the war on December 16 there were reports of hostile fire from the armed Pakistani soldiers and their collaborators. In one such incident, notable film-maker Zahir Raihan was killed on January 30, 1972 in Mirpur, allegedly by the armed Beharis of Mirpur.
The number of intellectuals killed is estimated as follows: educationist 991, journalist 13, physician 49, lawyer 42, others (litterateur, artist and engineer) 16.[2]
Noted intellectuals who were killed between March 25 and December 16, 1971 in different parts of the country included Govinda Chandra Dev (Philosopher, Professor at DU), Munier Chowdhury (Litterateur, Dramatist, Professor at DU), Mufazzal Haider Chaudhury (Litterateur, Professor at DU), Anwar Pasha (Litterateur, Professor at DU), Dr. Mohammed Fazle Rabbee (cardiologist), Dr. Alim Chowdhury (ophthalmologist), Shahidullah Kaisar (journalist), Nizamuddin Ahmed (Reporter), Selina Parvin (reporter), Altaf Mahmud (lyricist and musician), Dr. Hobibur Rahman (mathematician, Professor at RU), Dhirendranath Datta (politician), Ranadaprasad Saha (philanthropist), Lt. Col. Moazzem Hossain (ex-soldier), Mamun Mahmood (Police Officer), and many others.
Martyred Intellectuals Memorial (Bengali: বুদ্ধিজীবি স্মৃতি সৌধ) is a memorial built for the memory of the martyred intellectuals of Bangladesh Liberation War. The memorial, located at Rayerbazar, Mohammadpur Thana in Dhaka[1], was designed by architect Md. Jame- Al- Shafi and Farid Uddin Ahmed. During the entire duration of Bangladesh Liberation War of 1971, a large number of teachers, doctors, engineers, poets and writers were systematically massacred by Pakistan Army and their local collaborators, most notably the alleged Islamist militia groups Al-Badr and [Al-Shams (Bangladesh)|[Al-Shams]]. The largest number of assassinations took place on December 14, 1971, only two days before the surrender of Pakistan army to the joint force of Indian army and Mukti bahini.

In the night of 14 December 1971, over 200 of East Pakistan's intellectuals including professors, journalists, doctors, artists, engineers, and writers were rounded up in Dhaka. They were taken blindfolded to torture cells in Mirpur, Mohammadpur, Nakhalpara, Rajarbagh and other locations in different sections of the city. Later they were executed en masse, most notably at Rayerbazar and Mirpur.

so I did have a pumpkin cheese cake too...
I went to the Washington Square Shopping Mall to Lenscrafters, and the associated ophthalmologists to get my yearly eye exam :) then I stopped at the Cheesecake Factory :)
please see large :)
Reading a library book on a tiny iphone 5s isn't for everyone, but does offer my nearsighted eye some options.
1. I can read in the dark with my one very, VERY nearsighted eye on the iPhone;
2. I can read light on dark backgrounds when my eye feels tired;
3. I can download another set of library books or purchase books, because I like to have multiple books at hand;
4. I can increase font size or kerning or leading;
5. and I can still read paper books.
The best of paper and digital worlds.

Thanks for looking. Oh, no longer an early adopter. Purchased the first iPhone before AT&T had established cell towers in Alaska. Now I wait.
Sorry I've been absent. Too worried and anxious about so many world problems, including the bullies playing with bombs.
Well my YAG procedure yesterday in my opinion (not that I am an ophthalmologist) seems to have gone very well. It's like, as many described to me "looking through super clean glasses".
I will go back in one month for a checkup. Right now I have a regime of eye drops again 3x day for 7 days in each eye and they sting like all get out. But, it's a small price to pay to be able to see.
I want to thank each and everyone who took the time to visit my little space here on Flickr. Have a super day!

Also, Ernestine and I went to Greensboro last week to see her ophthalmologist. Both eyes tested better than ever! Eye drops twice a day is a small effort for these results.
Here is another photo from my close encounter with a Short-eared Owl this week. In Britain the yellow eye colour helps distinguish it from the similar Long-eared Owl, which has orange eyes, though in North America both species have yellow eyes. If you look carefully at the eyes you will see that they are different (try zooming in if it isn't apparent). Its left eye is in the sunshine and it has a small black pupil, but its right eye is in the shade so the pupil is dilated to let more light in, and subsequently looks about twice as large as the other pupil. The size of the pupil is governed by the muscles of the iris and the main trigger for dilation is low light levels, as it is with most vertebrates. But in humans pupils also dilate when we are feeling amorous, and generally males find females with dilated pupils attractive. We cannot adjust the size of our pupil at will, but certain chemicals, for example atropine, will dilate our pupils. This chemical overrides the reaction of our iris muscles to light levels and is used by ophthalmologists to facilitate eye or retinal examinations. Atropine comes from the plant Deadly Nightshade, and its scientific name is (Atropa) belladonna, which is Italian for "beautiful lady", as it was once used by ladies to make them more attractive with dilated pupils. As its name suggests, Deadly Nightshade is deadly if ingested, and is not a common plant in Britain. Here a flowering Deadly Nightshade that I found near Silverdale in Lancashire. www.flickr.com/photos/timmelling/3732267143/in/photolist
If you are not close enough to see the eye colour then Short-eared and Long-eared Owls can look quite similar in flight. The ground colour in SEO is usually a bit more yellow, and more orange in LEO. And the wing tips are more black than pale in SEO, but more pale than black in LEO. Here's a LEO for comparison: www.flickr.com/photos/timmelling/50071100962/in/photolist
Dear Flickr friends - Yesterday the ophthalmologist said that my eye has greatly improved with much less inflammation. I feel certain that your healing thoughts and prayers have aided in my healing process. I can't thank you enough for your prayers, concern, and thoughtful messages which meant so much to me when I needed them most.
My eye is still blurry but the doctor believes that I should recover my sight as the inflammation continues to recede. I feel such gratitude today for my vision and my ability to perceive the miracles of the world around me. This photo I took when I could only see shapes and no detail. I was comforted by the arc of the trees and clouds - that slow hovering warmth of summer. Thank you again my dear friends for your love and kindness...
I must only be on the computer in short spurts for a while, but I'm anxious to see what you all have been up to. I will visit your sites very soon.
After the removal of my cataract in my right eye I had to improvise so I could see my computer. Popped the right lens out of my computer glasses allows me to be able to see what the heck I am doing.
Right now, I still need the computer RX for the left eye but hopefully soon the left eye will have the cataract removed that is just starting. My ophthalmologist said I could wait years to have it removed and, although this work around is okay as I can see my computer now with my right eye just great I am thinking it's time to ditch the glasses.
I appreciate each and every visit, comment and fave here on my little corner of Flickr. Have a super day!
If you can not spot the photographer with his Nikon D90 it is high time for an appointment with your Ophthalmologist!!
;-)
G!
-ok
D.
-ok
A?
-yes
Euh... Z?
Okay, you need to wear glasses now.

Hello, everyone. Hope you're all doing okay.
Unfortunately we've missed these last two weeks, but we're back now.
Once again we can't close the diagnosis. We did the tomography which didn't show anything. The week after that I took him to the best ophthalmologist we have here because I would like to know what was causing the mydriasis in both eyes. Then again, just for assumption and excluding the other probable diseases, we got to another stroke, just like at the end of 2015. The difference this time is that the only signs are the paralysis of the left side of his face and the ocular changes, thanks God. The lesser of two evils, 'cause I think you guys remember what he went through last time...
To be sure we need a MRI but there's no place in my state that does it. Actually, Brazil have 26 states and only 3 cities in 3 of these states offers veterinary MRI. None of them is close to where we live...
We started the treatment on the same day of the exam with steroids. Today is the 12th day and sadly I didn't notice any improvements. But he's not worse either, which is a win. We already started to give less medication and I don't know what'll be the next step.
Apart from that, he's doing okay.
He have this face because I told him we're going back to the ophthalmologist tomorrow and, as you can see, he's not very thrilled about it. hahaha
Have a blessed week, everyone.
Was able to see the ophthalmologist and received a clean bill of health from him and didn’t get scolded for not returning a bit more often. There are no major problems with my eye except that I spend far too much time in front of my monitor. It’s just a matter of not blinking enough and lack of tear production causing the irritation. Regular OTC eyedrops should solve the problem and I can now get back to taking photos. I may try to spend a bit less time on the computer, but I also enjoy playing around with a bit of graphics as well and will have to find a balance with everything.
I hope everyone is doing well and will try to slot back into the flow of things here on Flickr. Nothing earth shattering in this shot of a Yellow-crowned Night Heron enjoying a blue crab breakfast in the early morning hours on Horsepen Bayou. No way to get closer as they merely scurry away with their catch across the mud flats during the low tide and there’s no way to follow them.
Will try to catch up with everyone’s post is due time. If there is something special that I have missed during my absence, please let me know. Wishing a wonderful end to their week.

A few more odds and ends from my archives. I am adding the description that I wrote under a different image taken on the same outing. Still not getting out, so no new photos.
"Feeling totally lethargic after Christmas Day and Boxing Day, I finally made myself go to Fish Creek Park two afternoons ago, on 27 December 2014. A few people had been seeing a fist-sized or popcan-sized Northern Pygmy-Owl recently and so I thought I'd go and see if anyone else was there and if they had found this tiny owl. In fact, there were two people there who were looking at the owl, perched way in the distance near the top of a very tall coniferous tree. It flew to another tall coniferous and to a tall, dead tree. The word "tall" is never a good word when it comes to searching for one of these tiny owls, lol. However, I was just thrilled to bits to see it at all. I think my first photos of this owl species were taken on 6 December 2007,
At one point, the owl flew off and disappeared. We started walking in the rough direction that we thought it might have flown and stopped in our tracks when we heard a Pileated Woodpecker in the area. Thinking that maybe it had been harassed or annoyed by the owl's presence, we went to look for the Woodpecker. It flew to a dead tree and after a few minutes, made its way round the back of the tree and out of sight. There were several holes in the back and there it was, hiding inside one of them, peering out at regular intervals. This is a male Pileated, as it has a red moustache.
The park paths were absolutely treacherous. I was wearing good ice grabbers on my winter boots and they did absolutely nothing. They simply slid over the remaining ice that had been covered with a light dusting of snow. It snowed here again last night, hopefully enough to create a solid layer to completely hide the ice."
“Pileated woodpeckers, the largest woodpeckers in North America, hammer their heads into trees with a force of 15 mph, 20 times a second. So how do their heads not turn to mush? Thick muscles, sponge-like bones, and a third eyelid keep bird brains intact. "If you get hit hard in the head, you can break blood vessels behind the eye or traumatize nerves behind eye," said University of California Davis ophthalmologist Ivan Schwab. ‘Seeing patients in car accidents and knowing what woodpeckers do made me wonder why these injuries don't happen in woodpeckers.’
Last fall, Schwab was honored with an Ig Nobel award, the irreverent version of the Nobel Prize, for his research on how woodpeckers avoid headaches, published in the British Journal of Ophthalmology.
Along with their straight-as-an-arrow strikes at the tree, which safeguards against head trauma, birds' bodies are designed to absorb the impact. One millisecond before a strike comes across the bill, dense muscles in the neck contract, and the bird closes its thick inner eyelid. Some of the force radiates down the neck muscles and protects the skull from a full blow. A compressible bone in the skull offers cushion, too. Meanwhile, the bird's closed eyelid shields the eye from any pieces of wood bouncing off the tree and holds the eyeball in place. The eyelid acts like a seat belt and keeps the eye from literally popping out of the head," Schwab told LiveScience. "Otherwise, acceleration would tear the retina." The outside portion of the eye itself is firm, filled with blood to support the retina from being jostled around.
Bird brains also remain rigid during head banging. Injuries to the human head make our brains bounce back and forth in the cerebral spinal fluid, bathing the organ, but woodpeckers have virtually none of this fluid. While scientists can't be certain that woodpeckers don't get headaches, Schwab pointed out that the birds are at least very tolerant of headaches.” From Science on NBC News, 1 August 2007.

"This Woodpecker is roughly Crow-sized ... Adults are 40 to 49 cm (16 to 19 in) long, span 66 to 75 cm (26 to 30 in) across the wings and weigh 250 to 400 g (8.8 to 14.1 oz), with an average weight of 300 g (11 oz)." From WIkipedia.
Today was another trip into the ophthalmologist for me for a check up. All is good, I will have to have a small laser procedure as I noted at some point my ophthalmologist said for the thin membrane that formed around the implanted lens.
The trip also meant a stop to our mechanic as my car is not feeling too well - Mike put on a new alternator and belt but it is still a bit sluggish - perhaps just a sensor. We left the car there in Kingston with him as we have another vehicle so while I waited in the truck, I snapped a photo of the empty field across the road with the row housing in behind with my iPhone for my photo a day.
Sorry if I don't get to visit any of your wonderful images but I am dogged right out from the trip to the city LOL
I appreciate each and every visit, comment and fave here on my little corner of the world as seen through my lens.
