Re: Eyes
Well Lads
I have just arrived Home after my yet again Eye Testing at the Hospital.
They did not use Drops this time but gave me a full Visual Test, First with a test that can see if your Vision is getting like Tunneling or not, then another on the Computer for Glaucoma and Pressure .
Well both tests came back as positive with my Vision not really all that good on the first test, as well on the second one it shows Glaucoma Forming on Both Eyes, one worse then the other, the Pressure is not too good either with a reading of 20 on one Eye and 18 on the other, however the one may be caused by the old Eye Op of Detached Retina Years ago, this is not certain though.
I have been given special Eye Drops Xalatan
to insert once a day , one drop in each Eye at night this to be done for a long time, this hopefully will ease the pressure and help the Glaucoma.
I am to still of course have the Op for Cataracts , at this stage we are looking at hopefully Mid January or Early February 2021. So still some time away, and it is getting a bit of a drag for me !
But what can i do just wait my turn.
So that is my latest News, next Bulletin in January or Feb Next Year LOL
Cheers

Re: Eyes
That was a great a news Mike! I had my eye surgery last year and I don't know why are my eyes still blurry and sun sensitive after 2 months of cataract surgery. After 2 months, condition of eyes get better and now I can see much better.

Re: Eyes
Victoria we wear sunnies all year round when outside.
I even wear them in shopping centers, I find the fluros are not good for eyes.
as a young man a couple of years ago i suffered from migranes, inherited from mum, and found out from my GP that there area number of triggers for it.
One of them is flickering lights and Fluros do flicker though only the inner eye can see it.
