Ndakhala ndi masomphenya oipa kuyambira ndili mwana. Ndikapita kwa dokotala watsopano wamaso ndipo akawona lens yanga yolumikizana ndi -7.25, nthawi zambiri ndimakhala ndi mawu odabwitsa kapena achifundo. Ngakhale kukhala ndi maso oyipa koteroko kumakhala kovutirapo, kwandipangitsanso kuti ndidziwe zambiri kuposa momwe munthu wamba amachitira pankhani zokhudzana ndi maso.

Chimodzi mwazinthu zing'onozing'ono koma zofunikabe zomwe ndiyenera kulabadira ndikuti ndiyenera kuvala magalasi olumikizirana tsiku lililonse. Inde, ndimatha kuvala magalasi koma ndi kusiyana kwakukulu pakati pa zomwe ndingathe kuziwona pamwamba ndi pansi pa mzere wa lens ndi zomwe ndimawona pa magalasi, zikhoza kukhala zododometsa komanso zosokoneza, kotero ndimasankha kuvala zolumikizana kupatula usiku ndi mkati. m'mawa. Ndiyenera kusamala ndi ukhondo wanga wa lens. Ndikutsimikiza kuti ndisamba m'manja ndisanagwire m'maso kapena zolumikizana nazo ndipo ndikufunika kusintha magalasi anga akatha ntchito.

Ndinauzidwa ndili ndi zaka za m'ma 20 kuti chifukwa chakuti ndimaona pafupi kwambiri, ndili ndi chiopsezo chowonjezeka cha retina. Ndipo sindinangotuluka mu ofesiyo ndi mankhwala atsopano m’manja, ndinachoka ndi chinthu chatsopano chodetsa nkhaŵa! Dokotala wa maso anandiuza zimenezo gulu la diso ndi pamene retina (timinofu tating'ono tomwe tili kumbuyo kwa diso) imachoka pamalo pomwe iyenera kukhala. Anandidziwitsanso kuti zizindikiro zimaphatikizapo zambiri "zoyandama" (tizing'onoting'ono zomwe zimawoneka kuti zikuyandama pamzere wanu wa masomphenya) m'diso lanu ndi kuwala kwa kuwala. Mpaka lero, ndikawona kuwala kwa ngodya ya diso langa, ndimaganiza, "Ayi, zikuchitika!" kungozindikira kuti ndi winawake amene akutenga chithunzi mchipindamo kapena kuwala kwa kuwala. Ndinayamba kusanthula zonse zoyandama zomwe ndidaziwona, ndikuyesa kudziwa ngati zidachuluka. Mantha anali m'maganizo mwanga ndithu.

Kuti zinthu ziipireipire komanso bwinoko, pasanapite nthawi yaitali, mnzanga wina wantchito anali ndi retinal detachment! Ngakhale izi zidangopangitsa kuti izi ziwoneke ngati zenizeni, zidandipatsanso mwayi wolankhula ndi munthu yemwe adakumana nazo. Ndinaphunzira kuti uku sikunali kung'anima kwachangu komanso zoyandama pang'ono. Zizindikirozo zinali monyanyira ndipo zosatheka kuzinyalanyaza. Zimenezi zinandikhazika mtima pansi, ndipo sindinkafunika kuda nkhawa pokhapokha ngati zinthu zitafika poipa.

Ndinaphunzira kuti ngakhale, ndi zaka, chiopsezo chikuwonjezeka, pali njira zingapo zopewera kusokonezeka kwa retina. Mukhoza kuvala magalasi kapena zida zodzitetezera pamene mukuchita zinthu zoopsa, monga kusewera masewera. Mukhozanso kufufuzidwa chaka chilichonse kuti muwonetsetse kuti palibe zizindikiro zong'ambika; kuthandizira msanga ndi mwayi wabwino kwambiri wochiza. Ndinaphunzira kuti ngati zizindikiro zimenezi zikuoneka, ndikakhala ndi chithandizo chamankhwala mwamsanga, ndimakhala bwino. Maso a mnzanga amene ndinkagwira naye ntchito anapulumuka chifukwa cha zimene anachita mwamsanga

Chifukwa chake, monga momwe zimakhalira ndi matenda ena ambiri, kudziwa kuopsa kwake ndi zizindikiro zake, kupita kukayezetsa pafupipafupi, ndikupempha thandizo vuto likangoyamba ndiye mwayi wabwino kwambiri wopambana. Kukhala pamwamba pa nthawi yoikidwiratu ndikofunikira kwa ine komanso kudziwa zomwe ndiyenera kuchita ngati vuto liyenera kuchitika.
