   According to the optician earlier, I appear to have had a retinal haemorrhage within the last few weeks.

   can't have been a bad one, otherwise I'd've noticed!

     @goatsarah people can compensate for a fair amount of retinal damage without being aware of it. E.g. I seem to have a fairly large blank spot in the right visual field of my right eye & I cannot make myself consciously aware of it. I only know it's there because of stuff suddenly becoming visible (like moving cars <AHEM/>) that I ought damn well have seen.
