Subject: [SkunkworksAMA] ATTN: Mr. Hardiman (Herbie Bear said you'd might
know what to do)
Hi there...
I have an off-topic question which a friend of mine said taht you'd
might be able help me with.
After talking with Herbie Bear and the mice, Herbie told me that I
should contact you and ask for advice. So here goes...
The situation is this: Just 10 days ago while moving to my new
apartment I had a small accident. I suffered a very bad cut to my
eye. The cut covers most of my right eye and according to the
doctores its very deep as well (Considering its in my eye).
They told me that a cut like that would normally have caused my eye
to pop like a baloon (It didn't though)...
Now that it has more or less healed I have suffered a lose in eye-
sight at about 20% to 25%. It scares me. Alot... Specially since its
gona be permanent. (My vision on that eye is very blured and I can't
seem to focus right)...
The beiigest problem for me is taht its become very hard for me to
draw anymore since I can't focus as I used to do while drawing...
And it here my big question comes.
Knowing what you have been going through and are still experiancing
Herbie thought that you'd might have a suggestion to how I can
regain my full drawing abbillity with the lose og 25% of my eye-
sight on one eye...
If you have the time then I would really like to know what I could
do cuz this really scares me... Specially since drawing means so
much to me...

Ouch...not good, Martin.
The only thing I can think of is some kind of magnifier, on a desk stand or
one you can wear like a visor.
