Hey Tattoo2,

Thanks for sharing your experience!

I really don't recall the doctor saying that there was an effect on my eyesight when I had testing after the surgery. I have tried looking up the homonymous quadrantanopia online, but couldn't find any references. Thanks for the link! I do vaguely recall that term now: "Pie in the Sky". That's right.

The same space being absent from vision in both eyes is pretty weird. I've bumped into walls more than a few times. I've also pushed people in wheelchairs a little too close to the right wall. Ugh! I haven't noticed any change in my sense of taste or palette ~ but I have lost almost all sense of smell. I recall that those senses are closely related. I can smell a very small amount of things strongly, but most smells can't be detected by me. And a few can be lightly detected after pointed out and focused upon.

Thank you Tattoo!
Shez
