Look into my eyes

So for this entry I've done a bit of work to the blog and added a few features.

If you scroll down to the bottom of the page you can now see pictures, and before you start thinking they are pics of me, well in some ways I suppose they are.. but pictures instead of my eyes!

Test results from previous years. I try to keep all letters and results together and whenever I go to an appointment at Moorfields Eye Hospital I always ask for copies of all the reports/results. I do have more somewhere but what with the move I think they may still be in a box somewhere. Uploading them turned out to be easier than I thought it would be but hopefully they will be interesting for anyone wanting to compare results or just see interesting pics and diagrams..

If there is anyone else who suffers of Ushers Type 2 who also has results like these I'd certainly be interested doing a comparison.

I'm going back to Moorfields on Wednesday next week which is for the 5 years on with the Ushers Study that they are running. Hopefully I'll get more results then and upload them too.

Getting all the documents out again made me read through all the letters I've received over time and one thing I had forgotten is the exact details of the chances of having a child with Ushers. Apparently the chance of being a carrier of the gene is 1/100. Being a sufferer myself I will defs pass on the carrier gene which would mean that if Mike just happened to be the 1 in 100 it would then mean a 50/50 chance of having a chance of a child with the syndrome. All in all that's a 1/200 chance of having a child with Ushers so not bad at all!
