This is the retina–the light-sensitive tissue on the back wall of my right eyeball–in a digital photo taken by an optometrist Monday in my complete eye exam for new glasses. He said the point where the optic nerve comes in (the white area) has a bit of normal degeneration (for a sixty-four year old) on one side, but the blood vessels are clear, and the dark spot on the left of the retina is only a normal amount of macular granularity. The left retina was the same. Hence, with no disease discovered, my insurance wouldn’t cover the test and I paid the whole sixty-eight dollar fee. But the good news was that my eyesight seems to be good to go for a while longer.
