Good news, bad news

















Cam went in this morning for an EUA. His right eye is looking good: the contact lens prescription is accurate; there's no inflamation, etc. The left eye, however, has some fibrosis (scar tissue and inflamation, basically) on the iris - a result of the cataract surgery. His left pupil can't dilate because of this fibrosis, and it's also making the eye 'milky' again, so very little vision in that eye at the moment. He needs to go in for another operation next week, probably Wednesday, to have the fibrosis removed. Dr Pauw is not too concerned; he reckons that this is not very invasive surgery and should be successful. Afterwards, hopefully, the pupil will be able to dilate more normally and his chance of some vision in that eye will increase. So do keep on praying, please...!

Good news is that his pressure levels in both eyes are low, which means there is no glaucoma at this stage. So grateful for that!

The photos: Cam says hello by reaching out and grabbing your face. He has started greeting Lola that way, too!
