For the past eight or so years I have had injections for wet macular disease in my left eye, but in the last few days nature has had other ideas for me. A few days ago my right eye started playing up, and when I closed my eyes and opened them, I saw a large grey balloon and also something that looked very much like a blood corpuscle.
