Something to do with the eye ball shrinking. <br />I'm kind of used to the cobwebs now, and the flashing lights, just thankful it wasn't, as I had feared, a brain tumour because that's always a threat now <br /><br />Good luck with your treatment!

Just to add my perspective as I understand it it’s a a fairly common condition to develop, which, once fixed, would normally then need no more intervention or exhibit long term problems. It’s an entirely painless procedure to treat posterior lens capsule opacification usually in an outpatient clinic to take about 15 minutes all up. <br /><br />You may find over time the brain will get used to the increased level of floaties and spider webs to ignore them once you have convinced yourself they pose no harm. At least that has been my experience and I hope and pray it very soon will be yours. <br />Best wishes <br />Lindsay Byrneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11030132436987752741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2683318922990064067.post-69736004695809095872016-09-30T01:40:00.522+02:002016-09-30T01:40:00.522+02:00Tom, I pray that you and the universe will be firm...Tom, I pray that you and the universe will be firmly and lovingly attached after the lasers have done their job. Your retinal light-shows sound quite intriguing but also worrying and hopefully you'll be rid of them after the intervention. Very best wishes for your good health.

It is entirely painless, takes only seconds and, according to my opthamologist, never has to be done again. "Floaters", though, are a consequence of aging, he tells me, and there is nothing to be done for them. Mine come and go so if they're really bothering me at any given time I just take a nap.
