but I know they're keeping an "eye" on my "eyes" because I have 2 different types. Not enough for surgery right now, tho.. but I can tell my eyesight is not as good as it should be, even wearing my glasses.

Hea, if they give you a valium, kick back and enjoy. Mom had an easy time having hers removed, no problems for her whatsoever. And she loved the valium! (LOL)

Here's a digital hug {{ }} for you... I've been through enough medical with hubby since Thanksgiving, I'm happy to give you hugs and warm thoughts for your best eyesight to come!
