So, yesterday I went to see my eye doctor for my semestral checkup. Lately he's been having me do a series of tests but so far hadn't changed my prescription, so I wasn't really worried. However yesterday he prescribed me some new eyedrops, aside from the ones I use on a regular basis to keep my eyes from drying out when I'm at the computer. We

Araceli dear, I'm shocked for you! My sight is weak ever since birth. Last spring and in the autumn, I was at two courses for weak-sighted and blind people, and there, I met many who had glaucoma or other sicknesses. :(

Anyway, those people did manage with their vision problems. We supported each other very well. My thoughts are with you, and I'm delighted you were ready to tell us this. *Hugs*

Thank you very much for the virtual hugs :D *hugs back*

I'm much calmer now, I know that if I take good care of myself I can prevent the condition from appearing, it's just that the uncertainty of not knowing wheter I had it or not was VERY VERY drainning :P. If I have a serious disease, something that would become a life-changing event in my like, I'd like to know as soon as possible, to get the axe sooner than later, you know? So it was really all the wondering that had me pulling my hair off.

Funny thing is I've been using glasses since I was 3 (no kidding here), and I started doing the serious analisis because my mother suggested I could get eye surgery. I didn't feel very enthusiastic about it because I really, really like my glasses, and now lasik is no longer a choice for me, but thanks to that the doctor was able to notice there was something going on there.

How come you went to those courses? Is your eyesight alright?

Mira este artículo. Probablemente no necesites operarte si lo prefieres. Solo recuerda la imagen de que tendrías que ver una navaja acercarse a tu ojo y pues no puedes tenerlo cerrado...
¿Para que operarse?

Gracias por los comentarios.
De hecho no tengo miedo, el hecho de no poder operarme no me preocupa, como dije, me gustan mucho mis lentes. Lo que me tenìa con los pelos en punta era que no podía sacar de mi cabeza la palabra glaucoma :S. Gracias a Dios no es nada serio y puedo controlarlo, jaja. Mi mamá trabajó en una clínica de cirugía láser para ojos, entonces la idea de la navaja no me asustaba demasiado, pero aún así, es impresionante. Muchas gracias por el video! Parece algo de ciencia ficción 8o
