Retinal pigmentation

I forgot I had a blog but then I remembered.

I am pleased to announce that I finally learned why my eyes are more sensitive to sunlight than the eyes of other people. My optometrist explained to me that our retinas have pigmentation, and with less pigmentation the eye is more sensitive to light. I had wondered about pigmentation in the iris -- which controls eye color -- but I have found in my talks with friends and family that light sensitivity does not really correlate with eye color.

In other news, since I have last blogged, I am now divorced, and for this week my ex-wife's dog is staying with me and is unusually flatulent.

Sounds like a good time all around. Gassy canines and Glaring beams o' light. Perhaps find for yourself some sunglasses and for Mags some Beano? If my eyes are two different colors I wonder if one side of my head is more sensitive than the other.

Nothing like randomly alternating from second person to first person for a trashily trashed and hastily repaired comment.
