Bit of an odd ball one this... but I can really recommend an eye patch if you have a recurring bleed in one eye! I've found I've been getting headaches from the eyes straining to correct when the blood is filling & dissipating throughout the day, but if I wear a (dark) eye patch for a bit it's quite restful & I can read more easily...otherwise I end up half closing one eye like Captain Darling in Blackadder...not good! 😉 Ok, so you look like a Captain Jack Sparrow wannabe, but it helps...! 😱

Sorry if that's a bit random, just thought it might help someone else if they are in the same boat! 🙂
 
Thanks for that Twitchy, certainly makes a lot of sense! I remember when I got my eyes tested for the first time in my adult life aged 47 and was surprised at how much my right eye was compensating for the left. Giving one a rest for a while sounds like a good idea. 🙂 Hope your eye is better soon.
 
Think it's the "Laser of Doom" (in theatre! 😱) on monday...assuming doc can see enough through the blood! Ho hum, all good fun...!! Fingers crossed this round does the trick! 🙂

I do hope so, my dear 🙂
