Hi guys, just a quick update following todays appointment.

My vision is improving in leaps and bounds, approx 80% in the right eye now. They suspect the cause is not with a clot in the eye, but in the visual cortex. I have many scans booked for next week. I also have an Ophthalmologist appointment for Tuesday to rule out actual eye issues.

If this turns out to be brain related then I may be facing surgery very soon. The risk of a secondary event is approximately 50% in the first 2 months following the first. I have been prescribed Asprin to thin my blood and should a blockage in the eye be ruled out then other medication will then follow to further reduce risk. Other blood thinners are not yet prescribed as they could lead to bleeding in the eye which will make it worse, assuming the blockage is in the eye that is. I have been instructed to take it easy and not to over-exercise.

Eye can enjoy coherent photos at last.

Thanks for the well wishes.
