Nasty. Here's hoping the op has produced a full and permanent repair.
No need to avoid photography completely for the next few weeks, though. People with all sorts of visual impairment take superb photos. Perhaps a change of approach during the next few weeks - more random and experimental, less pre-visualised? When the eye has healed and you can see OK again, you might even see that you've taken an unexpected masterpiece!

All the best with your recovery. From what you've said it certainly sounds like the docs know what they're doing.

Along with everyone else here, I wish you a speedy recovery.
I also agree with Lubbyman, you have the experience and knowledge to overcome this 'bump in the road' and continue in one way or another with what you do so well.

Be well, stay safe, but most of all, invest in memories

I appreciate all the kind wishes very much.
I shall have a go at photographing "blind" as it were, I might even learn something

I do hope that your treatment brings a full recovery. It must have been a frightening experience. We depend so very much on our vision.
Best wishes,

I won't say, "get well soon" because you should take as long as it needs. But I do hope it is soon! .... And I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

Good news is distance vision has returned almost to normal in the affected eye. Close up is more challenging as the gas bubble keeps getting in the way ! It is like looking through a spirit-level.
I have to keep my head tilted to the left all the time to keep the bubble in the correct position, which is awkward but a small price to pay. Too early to say how successful the operation has been, but I am feeling a lot more hopeful than I was.
The doctors and all the staff at St Thomas's Hospital are heroes to me.

Stick with it Peter, Hope all goes well in the very near future. I also suffer a medical condition which affects my eye workings. So I know how frustrating it gets. Looks like you have a fantastic team working alongside you. So fingers crossed.
