Retina
My optometrist is cool. He has a new camera that takes very detailed pictures of the back of your eye. Not only did he show me the best (and only) image of my retina that I've ever seen--he also e-mailed me a copy.
My eyes are currently healthy and show no signs of disease--which is not surprising for someone under 40--so I guess this is what a healthy retina looks like:
One day I'll be able to make a slideshow of high-res images that demonstrates how my eyes have changed over time. I already have the first slide!
And yeah, that big black spot is neither healthy nor normal. In fact, it's not even part of my eye. I added it to the image to blot out some of the key blood vessel patterns, so that no one can ever use this image to impersonate me in a retinal scan.
What? It could happen.
