Worse than that unfortunatly.

I have Eales disease which is the same as diabetic retinopathy, but im not diabetic.

The left eye, hemmorages led to vitrectomy, surgery 1. Then had detached retina, surgery 2. That one is all good now. 1.6 years ago.
The right eye, hemmorages and detached retina, led to vitrectomy and gas bubble for 6 weeks. Lost part of my peripheral vision but not in a critical area, just an annoyance.

When its bright out, I fly using mainly my left eye ( sailplanes at distance ) and for closer in stuff I can use both. Better than it could be so I am thankful.
