Took Ben to the Ophthalmologist this morning.
The doctor said Ben's eye was looking "marginally" better. He told Ben that he had to make the decision to either wait another 6 to 8 weeks to see if it clears up more or to have surgery where they put a "gas" bubble into his eye and suck out the dried blood. That takes about 1 1/2 hours. If they do that, after they do the "gas" bubble, he would have to sit with his head leaning down forward for 5 days then he would go back and they would do the laser treatments like they did on his other eye. Plus he'd be off work for 2 weeks or so. Ben decided to wait the 6 to 8 weeks and if the eye does not clear up on its own by then, they will do the bubble thing.
Sounds like the best thing to do, Kay. I think he is smart to wait it out. That surgery sounds horrible--at least the after-effects... But--if it comes to that, I'm sure he will do it.
