My whole world is Blurry !!!!

[Disco_owner]

well it seems I've been diagnosed with a condition called "central seraus retinapathy".

I have fluid built up in my left eye and everything seems Blurry unless I cover my left eye.:(

I first noticed this condition after I had a few drinks with a mate whom dropped by yesterday afternoon for a Visit. :p


This morning I had turned up for work and seemingly everything was Blurry I asked to be excused to have my eyes examined by an optometrist and then referred to an ophthalmologist for further testing which revleaed a patch of Fluid built up in the centre of the left eye. :(

[Fusion]

Holy Crap ! Can they fix it up ? all the best mate ;)

[abaddonxi]

Bugger, hope it's easy to fix.

[Disco_owner]

I've been told it "should" go away by itself and can take anywhere between 3-6 months. :eek:I got given a few contact numbers for a retina specialists so I need to make an app to see one. He/she will then monitor the condition and if the fluid leak gets any worse , they may need to operate using laser. but I'm told that 's the last resort as it is Risky.

[Rangier Rover]

Holy **** that's not good:eek: Hope you will be OK soon.
This is often known as CSR. I have had a dose of this as well a few years back. In my case was a slight build up of fluid under the retina. Took me over two months to get over it. I fairly sure my eyes are unharmed although will need glasses soon for fine work but at 42 I'm OK with that. I'm unsure of the cause and so were the specialist but I have blamed weld flash etc in my case.

[Redback]

Mate that's no good Khoz, I hope all comes good, there's nothing worse than being unable to see properly.

One thing about it, you know what it was like through my eyes at Belanglo;)

There can be a few different factors contributing or causing it , one that I'm told is common is Stress . high stress can cause the built of Fluid under the retina.I personally know how much stress you've been under lately with the draughts and all that never ending work around the farm .:(

That's one night that I think you would agree , that you would like to forget , you didn't look good the next morning Baz.:(

[Didge]

A tap on the eyeball should fix it.
I didn't really type that did I? Sorry, poor taste. Nah seriously, best wishes. As Redback said, nothing worse than no being able to see. Good luck. Hope its sorted really soon.
cheers gerald

Clean , this Might Clarify things a bit :eek:

CSR is a fluid detachment of macula layers from their supporting tissue. This allows choroidal fluid to leak into the subretinal space. The buildup of fluid seems to occur because of small breaks in the retinal pigment epithelium.

Nothing a Berroca, a bacon, egg and brown sauce sambo and a 10km hike wouldn't have fixed.


Khos, think yourself lucky it's just a temporary problem, it may be inconvenient but even if it has slowed you down your not stopped. Could be worse, I heard of a distant acquaintance who lost his, "piston and both fuel tanks" in a strange painting accident.

Indeed Dobbo , well said , it's just an inconvinience for now , that is all.
All I see is a Hazy black spot with my left eye and hopefully this will Diminish in time and life will be back to Normal again:)

[V8Landy]

Hope it does not take to long to heal mate. Good luck;)

[abaddonxi]

good point we could have a pirates party

[Disco_owner]

Thanks for puting a Light hearted Spin on things , I've been down last couple of days due to poor eye sight , Now I really understand how Ron ( p38arover ) felt and feels , but after reading all your comments It's actually made me pick myself up again. yes it is annoying not being able to see properly , but it could have been a lot worse , I may have completely lost my eye sight, Life goes on.

now what was the name of that "song"
"always look on the Brighter side of life".:D

[The ho har's]

sorry to hear....hope it comes good soon Kos:)



Mrs ho har:angel:


P.S. if having Pirate Party don't forget to invite me:D

[The ho har's]

Khos...if you get drunk and trip over things you can blame it on the bad eye ;) always good to have an "excuse" :D:D

Hope it improves soon...must be a bugger :(

hey are you in for the pirate party also...


Mrs ho har:angel:

[Bushwanderer]

Hi Khos,
Just saw this. I hope that you improve quickly (otherwise your dogs might need to be trained as "seeing eye" capable (just kidding ;)) .

On a more serious note, if there is anything that I can do, please let me know.

All the best,
Peter

[Disco_owner]

I'll post up a thread in the upcoming events for a "Pirates party" soon , All aulorians welcome :D

[long stroke]

Very sorry to here mate:(, i hope you get better ASAP:)

[Disco_owner]

Thanks Tim, I noticed this morning my left vision got really bad when I spent a few minutes outside in the Sun ,I think a pair of sunnies is the go from now on or a patch over left eye.




arrrrrrrrr....

[Didge]

Khos, you don't know me from a bar of soap but all jocularity aside, what's the long term prognosis? How long will it return to normal; months, weeks, days?: and what's your treatment? Early nights, no grog, no sunshine, no exercise, no computers, eyedrops? None of which sounds good? I've been meaning to subscribe for a while now and a pirate barrrrrbecque presents no better reason. I've always loved pirate movies from Captain Blood (Errol Flynn or Burt Lancaster - cant' remember which right through to the current crop or movies) cheers gerald

[dobbo]

you forgot the Jesse jane Pirate movies;)

[Disco_owner]

Always looking for an excuse to have a drink or 3 :D

The Opthalmologist at the "Sydney Eye hospital" has told me it could talke anywhere between 3-6 months , I do need to see a Retina specialist regularly to Monitor the condition. and I'm not sure if there is a treatment just yet?

[Disco_owner]

This $%&%&^$ Eye sight is giving me the ****s , I spent 5 minutes in the sun throwing the ball for my dog jasmine and it has gone so Blury I feel cross-eyed.:(

I really need to see a specialist soon :(

[rovercare]

Gee, that would suck Khos:(
