Medical Forum / General / Vision / August 2005Is it possible to have surgury to give me widescreen vision?
I am a big film buff and nothing annoys me more than missing something which was on the screen in the cinema, yet was mysteriously absent from the TV version. So can I have an opperation to burn out the top and bottom of my retina so I can enjoy widesceen vision on a permanent basis? I would buy a new TV but there are years of life still left in my 4:3 set. I was thinking I could do a DIY job and burn out my retina with a magnifying glass but I an slighty worried I would end up permantly blind. TIA.

That would not solve your TV problem, the missing stuff on the TV will still be missing and you would have the added problem of not perceiving the top and bottom of the TV. So you would see even less than was present on the cinema screen. To get the missing stuff you need to watch letterbox movies on TV. But from your previous posts it appears that you are made irrationally angry by the black space that appears on the top and bottom of your 4:3 TV set when letterbox movies are displayed. You choice is to have this black space and see everthing that was in the cinema or to not have the black space and not see everything that was in the cinema. > I would buy a new TV but there are years of life still left in my 4:3 set. > I was thinking I could do a DIY job and burn out my retina with a > magnifying > glass but I an slighty worried I would end up permantly blind. Buying a new TV would allow you to see all that was in the cinema and not have the annoying black space. You could keep your old TV for watching original TV programming and use the new TV only for movies. Dr Judy > TIA.

Of course, I did have to abandon a perfectly good email account... And you called MY post rubbish!
