good news!
On Friday, the eye doc seemed surprised at how well I am doing. I attribute this to increased exercise (one study I found online said this can reduce interocular pressure by 20 %), lutein, bilberry, prayer, and meditation, in addition to the eye drops. I don’t need to go back to see him again until after the first cataract surgery. I am wating to hear from the surgeon to make an appointment.
Little bit of sticker shock, though–the office vistit cost $873 ($350 for one test which I thought was a waste of time), and the eye drops cost about $40,000/liter. That is, one .25 ml vial goes for $100 to $120 locally.
Oh, and in case anyone was wondering about medical marijuana–it isn’t on the table, which is fine with me. I need to be compos mentis during the day. Soo–on the off chance someone might have chipped in but didn;t wanna help finance an old dude getting high–it ain’t happenin’.
