Haha. I think what might have caused mine was daring to gaze upon your greatness. Glad you're still seeing and going the distance.

What a difficult time but with a beautiful insight. I can relate on a level as an artist. I feel my work come from that deep place inside me, out through my finger tips into the medium. If i had to find another way I know i would struggle. Thank you for sharing your experience.

Ryan Winfield I read this amazing writing “ A Personal Eclipse” I have a special friend that I thought of as I read this. I enjoy reading these short story. I have a question? Is this something you experienced or know someone that has. My friend vision problem is because he is a diabetic. He has to have injections often in his eyes. His vision has improved a lot. I just love reading your books and writing. Continue doing what you do. Hope to see a new book soon. Thanks so much. Linda Allen nanny672@gmail.com

Hi Linda! I'm glad you enjoyed it. I was screened for diabetes, yes, and I've read that it can cause cataracts. The cause in my case, however, remains a mystery. The removal and replacement of my lenses solved my problem entirely, and I've been fortunate to need no followup treatment at all. New book news coming soon!
