Couldn't get the picture. [View all]

When in the hospital for my gallbladder extraction I noticed a surprising light effect.
The red LED for the TV, essentially a point source, gave me a look that reminded me of the lacy paterns of the Native American dream catchers. A dotted red circle with a spider web inside. This was when looking at the light with my right eye.
I should take a picture of that I thought. Then I remembered that my camera wasn't going to see the same image my cataract eye could see. Oh well.

I get the same effect with blue and green point sources with my cataract eye.

I'll have to enjoy different effects until my surgery in early April.
