Participant_33 Vision explanation
I came around from the eye surgery and I could see waves of colour: blue and red. I said, ‘I think they’ve saved some of my sight! I can see colours!!
It’s like a lava lamp – they bubble up and they plop down. Their forms are fluidly shifting in perpetual motion, the colours evolving: it’s really nice.
They started to form the kaleidoscope of patterns and shapes, with the characters appearing within that kaleidoscope.
There were snarling dogs from the Ghostbusters movie, they’ve got big teeth and horns and snarly red eyes.
And a tiger as well! The tiger looks so real you could see the lines on the fur and teeth with the jaw that was open.
Sometimes it can be with three layers. I also get cartoon characters. My son’s favourite teddy was Winnie the Pooh. If I’m happy and playing and laughing Winnie the Pooh will make an appearance. I do believe that that’s a connection with him – why that appears. And Danger Mouse? That was my favourite cartoon as a child. I get a lot of The Simpsons as well; I don’t know why.
