Wow! and here I was going to ask about the wonderful sunset up in the sound tonight. But this beats it by far! I just reread you front page and now I've got a picture of what you've been talking about! I can only wish you the best!

I thought it was a tomato--but wow, this is an amazing look at your eyes. I've known about your vision issues for a long time, but it sure makes it graphic seeing it this way!!

I found this very interesting and it helps me see what you don't see. Thank you for sharing and I hope your right eye stays clear. And your humor about your eyes being the same size made me chuckle. Welcome back, I missed you.

That's quite a revelation! Good on you for facing your challenge with such strength and good humour. My admiration for you has grown tenfold!

I certainly knew right away that this was a retina. I can see the macula also, but am astonished by the artistic beauty you have given it! This is one amazing way to present this tiny world of miracles!

i know how you feel about your eye sight i have trouble with mine too, not as bad ,but it's bad enough for me people think i'm crazy when i ca't see things. some times its hard that why i write i capital letters a lot because i want to see what i've written.

SO interesting!! You have made a beautiful work of art out of your infirmity...positive thinking extrordinaire!

Now that IS different!!! Very well done.. Rob.

WOW! Now I dont know what that means to your sight really. I mean, is there any focus area which works? I dont know how my defect eye looks like. My focusing on my left eye is black. Never had any sight there. Only what is around the focusing area and that is not much. It means, that if I must see things, read and other..like details or just the expression on ones face, my right eye takes automaticly over. I am born like that. I have never known anything else, so it has not been much of a problem for me. Only the thought, that I have no backup eye. You made a nice peace of art out of it, Tara :-))) And it is not creepy to me.

This is the before so when will the after be. Art even in medicine, nicely done

Neat idea for a post...I've got some issues with my eyes, so I'm a little to familiar with this picture...(I get to have a 'picture' taken every six months now)....glaucoma has crept in to my world...scary feeling.

Your image is beautiful!Creative and inventive: art is just quite what you did!And it comes from so many things around: events and dones...sometimes from the unreal and others from what we really have and is always a challenge in mind and is always fascinating. The art is always corageous and true.

Excellent and very creative composition. Looks superb!

superb idea...well done

LOL @maz. I am not not not EVER! going to eat tomatoes when I get to the staes, great idea auntie, you pulled off a great work here.

It does look extremely planetary in design; but oh, those scars on your poor retina! I'm sure it must be an incredible challenge for you...

Interesting image! :)

Challenge would be the right word , your photography shows how well you are adapting and doing a beautiful job!!

very nice!

Very clever. I was just gawking trying to figure out what I was looking at, before I read the information.. hehe.. I thought, perhaps you were getting ready for Halloween.

Good heavens (no pun intended), I thought this was a forty-year old astronomical shot of the planet Mars, replete with what was once considered canals crisscrossing its red surface. Excellent display of orbs, numerical data, color and miscellany in this composition.

I recognized your retina from the thumbnail. My wife lost the sight in her right eye and has been battling Macular Degeneration and Histoplasmosis in her left, for a little over 40 years. We get to see these photos every six months. You have a great attitude about this and believe me, that is half the battle. We commend you for your conversion from watercolors to digital art. I have a better understanding why you photograph glassware, bark, leaves and bright colored pottery. You are a brave young lady to have shared all of that with all of us. Three days is a long time – missed your work. Hugs and prayers. Dana

I like your art of your eye, and you certainly do have some grey areas there. It's good that you still have one good eye as it must be hard to adapt to not being able to see clearly.

Nice...

great work on putting this together! I wish you the best also!

Knowing the history it is hard to find words. Impressive image. I hope the eye is stable and remains so.

It doesn't creep me out. Not awesome from a visual function prospective.

Great picture I recognised what it was but had forgotten your problems with your eyes, I hope you and the others with eye problems never get any worse, and improve if possible.

Wonderful image!!

This is very moving. I'm wishing you the best also!
