MY VAMPIRE EYES

Most of my friends out there remember my very red eyes and how long it took for my eyes, especially my left one to heal after the cataract surgery.  Well, guess what, they are still red.  My doctor here in Phoenix said that redness was due to severe allergies.  Who knew?  So I am taking eye drops in both eyes and one especially combined antibiotic-steroid mix  for my left eye only.  We had to get them ready for laser treatment.  Doc said laser treatment is not a big deal and I will be sitting in the chair like when they check your eyes with my chin on the rest and my forehead against the top.  That simple.  No anesthesia.  So now I am waiting for the connection to make my appointment for that.  My right eye goes first, that is my better eye.  Now about these eye drops I am taking, I am already taking less of the antibiotic mix, and that will dwindle to nothing eventually by taking less and less of it.  The other drops are for my allergies and he said I will probably be taking those for the rest of my life.  One drop in each eye once a day.  He also added an over the counter eye drop.   This one is a saline solution combined with some oil to take as needed during the day when my eyes start bothering me.  And one more thing which he said was probably more or just as important as the eye drops is putting a warm compress on my eyes for five minutes several times during the day.  I had been using a cold compress because my eyes had been burning and feeling feverish.  He said the warm compress would be better and it helps with the healing process.  I know after I use that warm compress  my eyes  feel so much better.  I just take a small hand towel and wet it with hot water then squeeze out the water by that time it is usually cool enough to put on my closed eyes.   It feels great.
