I only had the surgery in one eye because it was so severe. The other eye is controlled by drops, as is the operative eye now. <br /><br />I have an affinity with your cat!

I had a cat that had it, and he eventually lost his entire eye and eyeball as a result. Back then (about 16 years ago), cats didn't have much chance of having eye surgery. Not sure about today, so it's good that you are a human and your eye surgery was successful and the pressure has been reduced.<br /><br />I can't wait to read your new book.Bleubeard and Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10149710375520733752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-618662835458105757.post-9265176974721201832017-11-08T21:40:00.951-08:002017-11-08T21:40:00.951-08:00Sandra Cox sent me.

In the past it was a sentence to blindness. The earlier you catch it the less likely you'll need surgery. Mine was really advanced. Good luck with good results from your medication, and thanks for stopping by. <br />Elizabeth Varadan, Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01708206753256682635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-618662835458105757.post-17020823397233178692017-11-07T06:31:48.248-08:002017-11-07T06:31:48.248-08:00You're one busy person.
