Pretty, but OUCH and I thought I might get a black eye, but no so I forgot about it until yesterday when all of a sudden a large floater in my eye and then last evening a flash of light when I moved my eye.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I looked on the internet and scared myself silly so called my eye Dr. this a.m. and they fit me in to the Sat a.m. schedule&#8230; So far so good &#8211; the thing that floater and flash &#8220;possibly&#8221; signifies is detached retina &#8211; which they can fix but better to find and fix sooner than later.\u00a0 At any rate, the retina is not detached and they will keep an eye on it.<\/p>\n<p>The good news is this fun eye patch that they gave me &#8211; they dilated the pupil extra to really get a good look and it is extremely light sensitive until it returns to normal&#8230;and I have 1 or 2 more checks so&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"center\" src=\"http:\/\/beardogco.com\/WPBlog\/blogimages\/Sep07\/EyePatch.jpg\" hspace=\"4\" alt=\"EyePatch\" height=\"329\" style=\"width: 300px;
