Few decades back had cryo for a developing retinal tear (too near the edge to reach with lasers of the day) and you can guess what creating the necessary scar tissue from the back of the eye involves. Since then that eye has been similar to your experience. <br /><br />In the week leading up to each eye exam since I've conducted ritual sacrifices and made burnt offerings to the God of Cloudiness.
