a bit of good news

Went to an eye specialist yesterday. He thinks that although it looks similar to macular degeneration, what I have is not that, but a viral infection in the retina of my right eye. He believes it will continue to worsen for a while as it runs its course, then quit leaving some permanent damage, but at least without blinding me. Best of all he doubts it will spread to the other eye. While this is not really great news, it is certainly way better than the prospect of going blind in the near future. Yay?
