Gosh

I don't remember much pain - other than thinking I might have had conjunctivitis. My eyes were red and sore, and there was quite a bit of discomfort.

Then came the blurring, then loss of colour and then loss of field of vision. If I walked down a supermarket aisle, I was aware of products but couldn't see labels, I had huge 'holes' where there was nothing, everything was greyed out (no colour), signs/text/pictues bounced around everywhere, if I looked to my left, I was unaware of anything being on my right.

My reflection was a big double fuzzy mess (no fun at all putting on make-up - though I didn't much care at that point)

I hope this gets better for you really soon. I remember so clearly the first minute I realised my vision was starting to clear - it was so exciting - at that stage, I still didn't know exactly why it had gone in the first place.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery

Lyn
