Dear friends,
Please do not think that I forgot about the forum. I sustained a very seriouos injury of my right eye, and despite surgery cannot see anything with it. I will be slowly resuming all my activities, so, sooner or later, I will be back here.

Bugger. Get well soon. Eye injuries can be a really hard thing to cope with, especially with the deepth perception being interferred with, it affects many things one does in life.

Hope it all resolves well Irakly.

Irakly,

We're all thinking of you during what sounds like an unimaginable challenge. We know you're a pretty strong guy and have overcome much to achieve all that you have in life so far.

And so we have confidence that this will simply be another one of life's hurdles that you will eventually manage to get over.

Stay strong, comrade... :mad:

:( sorry to hear about your difficulties... I am sure despite these challenges that your artistry will continue to flourish. You have too much of a vision to let anything stand in your way creatively. will be praying for a short recovery and a new perspective for your art/execution.

Take care...

regards

Whoa dude that is rough! I know that my right eye is my shooting eye, It'd be a hell of a time without it. I pray that you get your vision back, so that we can see more of your visions.

An eye injury is one of the scariest things I can think of to happen to a photographer. I hope you're feeling reasonably well and positive, under the circumstances. And I hope the long-term prognosis is a good one. Thanks very much for letting us know. Personally, I don't really care about you not posting on this forum. Your health and vision are much, much more important.

May the photo gods bless you.

I feel for you. I had optic nerve irritation a few years ago that caused intermitment blindness in my right eye. It's scary. Over about six months, the irritation and related swelling subsided and I got back to normal. I hope the same will happen for you.

YIKES :(

I sincerely hope your vision recovers COMPLETELY and SOON, but...

I assure you that good vision in one eye still enables you to function normally from personal experience ;)
