Have you finally ordered that touchscreen camera and white monopod?

This is all that matters to us viewers on the oly list.

GET THOSE EYES CHECHED, AT ANY COST!!!!

I'm strongly with Bob and all those others say get thee to the doc
sooner rather than later. I say that after watching my father try to
deal with detached retinas in both eyes a couple years apart.
I tried finding an opthamologist (sp?) by way of Yelp yesterday,
but got pretty frustrated. I'd be better off driving down the
street and looking for a business sign. It's no wonder they did
away with the Yellow Pages, as now they can manipulate things and
send you to whoever pays the highest advertising fee.
So I went a different route. I checked into my primary
naturopathic reference yesterday evening and learned more about
this. This form of "floater" is called "fibrillar degeneration of
the vitreous", and it's a result of long term exposure to sunlight.
It is common amongst adults and near-sighted people. They are
visible under certain light and backgrounds (which I've already
observed) and are considered benign, eventually fading away.
In my naturopathic reference, one of the recommendations to
prevent this is a supplement of 25,000 IU of Vitamin A, which sounds
a lot like taking a big bite out of a polar bear liver. It is to be
taken with lutein and zeavanthin. I'll check with Swanson later to
see what they have as they are the very best source for dietary
supplements.
One of the country's largest naturopathic medicine schools is
just down the street from me. I'm going to drop by and see if they
can refer me to someone who has a naturopathic opthomalgic practise.
These "floaters" are very slowly moving from left to right, and
looking back I now realise that they have been here for weeks. I
had earlier thought that they were stray strands of hair tangled
with my glasses. This morning the largest one is almost in the
centre and has faded noticeably since yesterday.
Since these are a result of exposure to sunlight, I've dragged
out and cleaned my aviator sunglasses.
