Damn. I was afraid it would turn out to be a pathology (and did plan to ask whether anyone recognized it now that I've got the film developed, but forgot to d so in my haste to post it tonight). It's not fair that something that pretty is that bad. :-(
I'll probably see her again at a convention sometime -- at least I hope so -- and yes, I will ask whether she already knows this. I hope it's not something that progresses very quickly, 'cause it's already been a couple years and I don't know how long it'll take me to find her. I don't remember whose eye it is!
Does the treatment also make the eye look normal again?
I'm not sure how quickly it progresses - I only recently learned about it when my in-laws in the UK rang to let us know that two of Marn's siblings were diagnosed with it, and it being a rare thing, they assumed it to be hereditary in some way, and that Marn may have it. They let us know that it was very simple to test for, and if diagnosed, very simple to treat. The only problem is that most people aren't diagnosed with it until there's been some vision loss due to the pressure. And I don't know if there has been some vision loss, if it comes back once the pressure has been released, or if the eye returns to normal looking. My educated guess, based on further research would be 1) it depends on the extent of the pressure in terms of how great, and how long it's persisted, and 2) no, it will continue to look like that because the pigmentation has been lost.
