Hi Doydie,
I have one too. A small one but right in the middle of my vision. If I wear lightly tinted amber sunglasses, on the computer and in the house it is not there. The Neuro-Op said because it colors over the light haze I have.

Mine is ready too, but I'm not. I don't wear any glasses for vision at all. And with 30 years of using stronger and stronger steroids during my relapses from heck, I thought I would have plenty by now. I don't.

It hasn't grown in years, just location, location, location. If it was in the corner I would leave it, but I know I will have to have it done.

He said they laser your retina lens off and replace it with a plastic one, then you need to wear glasses to read. I don't need glasses to read yet..so it's a wait and see for me. Plus if you are on aspirin 81 mgs baby aspirin or take vitamin E or Omega's you have to stop them before the surgery.

A friend of mine's eye bled so much they had a hard time stopping it from the aspirin all these years and she didn't stop it before. Make sure you ask all this Doydie.
Just some FYI, I thought I had O.N.too. Good luck
