I came across this irksome photo of yours in your flicker portfolio! At first I thought your kid had scribbled on the picture. Then I noticed the regular pattern of each 'scribble' and realized they are cornea
STITCHES!

I left the photo as a link as some people may not like to see such images of eyes and surgery.
My dream is to have leopard eyes transplanted once they work out how to successfully do animal to human transplants. Failing that some way to artificially widen my pupils...
Why leopard? Nothing to do with the mystic around the critter. But these animals probably have the best night vision of all beasts.
Getting a bit off topic, sorry. Hell of a trade-off though to no vision at all, Raymond. Not being flippant either with that comment. From a purely visual-astro point of view, I am very much aware of fatigue when observing. My vision is good in both eyes, but when fatigue sets in, nothing to do about it but rest and sleep. Many nights when conditions had been a excellent, fatigue killed things for the evening. I try to plan some rest during a day when I will be heading to a dark site. Even sometimes take a nap when up at the dark site during the night when I notice my vision weaken. All about fatigue management.
