As many people know I have severe dry eyes. Last August I realized that I wasn't able to see clearly so I went to the eye doctor. The doc gave me some new contacts, a week later I couldn't see out of them...that happened about three more times before I went to a specialist. First it was a retina specialist- nope nothing wrong there. Then a cornea specialist - my corneas were fine, except they seemed very dry. He did a test that confirmed I had dry eyes. He told me that having dry eyes can gravely affect a person's vision. I just thought he must be nuts - it is just dry eyes, right? WRONG! I had to be checked for diabetes - cause that can cause dry eye (the tests - all three of them - were negative. Thank YOU Jesus!!), I am on a prescription eye drop twice a day that is supposed to help my eyes make more tears (the test he did showed I was barely making any), and I have to use liquid gel drops as needed everyday with GEL drops at night (yuck!). Anyway, it is a hassle and my eyes are still not great. My vision is totally off because of it and I am having a problem wearing my contacts - so it is glasses everyday. I also have plugs in the tear drains in my eyes - the corners of each eye... And that is my pic of the day - hahaha. I had to get new plugs cause the other ones fell out (i rubbed my eyes too much once the allergies kicked in) and man could I tell that they had been working. I am so excited that I got those plugs put in today - how weird is that? But my eyes already feel better.
