SEARCH BLOG: HEALTH
I kept trying to wipe away and rinse away the stuff in my eye yesterday, but when it wouldn't go away I realized that it wasn't outside of my eye... it was inside.
It turns out I am experiencing a "floater"... a dark curly filament... in my eye and it is quite disconcerting... out of the blue... apparently not caused by anything traumatic. When it turned dark, I noticed some "lights" in my peripheral vision which I thought were reflections in my glasses. Turns out they were probably caused by whatever caused the floater.
The Great Internet tells me that it might be a little detachment of the retina, which can be fixed. So, I will try to find a doctor that specializes in these sorts of things and get a verification and treatment, if possible.
Looking back, I guess it may have started before yesterday, but just wasn't so evident. I had some trouble focusing while playing golf last week and tried to ignore it. Probably should not have.
Like many men, I have this issue about admitting something might be wrong with my health. You know, have to be the strong, indestructible type. I guess as I am getting older, I'll have to recognize my body's limitations.
Damn!
