Ian's eyes


Very depressed today. Ian had been complaining for the last few weeks that the vision in his right eye is not as good as it had been after his cataract surgery. His ophthalmology exam today showed more blood vessels growing into the cornea which causes cloudiness or blurriness. This photo is not of Ian's eye, but demonstrates corneal neovascularization perfectly.

Follow up appointment in 6 weeks to determine if the vessels are advancing further into the cornea. Too scary to contemplate the loss of vision right now!
On a happier note though, we are making progress with the serum drops and Ian's ophthalmologist will contact the hospital in Vancouver to have the blood drawn and spun.
