Growing up in dry, hot, dusty West Texas was not easy on my eyes. My corneas are permanently scarred from wearing hard contact lenses in sand storms. Over time, nodules formed on the cornea of my left eye and started distorting the cornea’s shape. Then a cataract formed that could not be removed until the nodules were removed. Tuesday the nodules were peeled off of the cornea and in three months the cataract will be removed. I’m now in the land of “many drops”, and thankful for the timer on my Apple Watch, smile.
Oh, Lou Ann. That doesn’t sound like fun! Even with a patch over your eye you still look stunning in this selfie. Praying for a quick and complete recovery for you.
Oh Lou Ann I feel for you & do pray all goes well for the future.
My specialist found the pressure in my left eye was 24 instead of 10. Am on drops to hopefully bring the pressure way down to prevent Glaucoma.
Sad story but you look brave and will come out of it much better than you have been. I love your shot. Here the sun is very hard on the eyes, too, and almost 365 days in a year. At least most of the days we protect the with sunglasses, though these last two years I don't wear them because of the protective mask against Covid.
@happysnaps my pressure before surgery was 24, after it was 19. I really don’t think the surgery had anything to do with it though. I go to my Opthamologist every 6 months so he can watch my pressure. I hope your’s goes down!
