Eyedendum

Further to "Eye", here is part of the diagnostic letter my father forwarded to me at my opthalmologist's request. The jargon is delightfully dense, impressisively impenetrable. I'll be adapting it, maybe. So there. Prominent floaters - Tee-hee.

Mr Charlaff was referred directly, after seeing Pat Leaning who correctly identified acute entoptic symptoms requiring evaulation.

I saw him on 14 January by which time the prominent floaters in his right eye were resolving and, on reviewing the history, he had presented with alarming symptoms some 14 days earlier, suggestive of retinal traction. He has a past history of radial keratotomy elsewhere, at which time retinal examination was satifactory in both eyes.
