Thanks guys, I appreciate it, means a lot.
It didn't go at all but the surgeons all think it's a result. In November 2019 I had a cataract removed, it was a very difficult procedure because of where it was placed. In March everything looked a bit wobbly so I went to my optician who happens to be one of the best around luckily, he said I'd lost some jelly in my eye so six weeks later I went back and he said the lens had become detached, he referred me for more checks, last Thursday I went to a local clinic who referred me to a local hospital, they called the next day and asked me to come in, they then proceeded to scare the crap out of me by saying I needed to turn up at Moorfields the next morning as my macular is now "off", I spent from that day to this sleeping bolt upright and not really doing much until today when I was all set for surgery even having the silly socks on and cannula in my arm, saw the anesthetist who completed his checks and then saw the surgeon who asked me to go with him, turns out my macular is on and they think the best thing to do is monitor it as my body is keeping the fluid in my eye from the tear to a minimum and the incredibly evasive surgery might not have been found it, I'd have to had the lens removed and oil put in my eye till it formed a bubble then wait six weeks to be reopened up and a new lens attached whereas they seem to think I can live with it and the surgery isn't necessary at this time and may never be
