You see, the problem is mostly in my left eye, where a tiny leak occurred and the back of my eye, causing the retina to budge forward and this in turn causes distorted vision near the middle of my retina. You can see in the above photo there is a darkish area in the middle and a few white-ish spots. As if this was't bad enough, because the retina has been starved of nutrients (explained my Doctor, a dullness had set in for a few years. This was like viewing the world through the lens of a grey pair of sunglasses.
The Doctor said this was not reversible and yet I now think there is little colour vision difference between the two eyes! I think this is remarkable, having put up with everything looking greyish and with muted colours for several years, everything now seems so much brighter and more colourful.
I noticed this yesterday when I was driving back across the Cotswold Hills on a bright sunny day. I found myself enjoying the lovely colours and September sun across the stunning landscape. I also remember thinking "these colours will look pretty dull through my left eye". So my astonishment was an almost complete colour restoration. That you God.
The details I see, however, is still well short of my "good eye". The distortion comes and goes but it is always noticeable. An example of this is when I look at the toolbar of my computer screen, it is wavy and certainly not straight.
This is all very wonderful and I'm not quite sure why this has happened. Most likely it is my excellent diet and through being a regular runner!
