I can taste the steroid drops I have to put in my eyes.

(For the record, they taste pretty nasty.)

Makes sense. Your tear ducts have some sort of flow out to your nose (hence all the snot when you cry). So that would then run down the back of your throat.

Google says it's the "naso-lacrimal duct"!

You need a Guinness chaser.

Not in your eyes, though.

You are a wise woman and I should listen to you more often.

Is there anything that Guinness can't fix?

No. It cures all. It's a scientific fact!

Wasn't there a kind of acid that was taken via eye drops? Windowpane?

i think i remember hearing about that at one point. never got ahold of any, though.

prolly just as well.

on the topic of 'wait, i just tasted what?', when i first started cracking my back (doctor's orders!), every time i did for the first couple of years, i tasted garlic for a few minutes, regardless of what i had eaten that day.

and i'd like to second the Guinness chaser. ;)

Not news to me - I used to get eye infections a lot, and could always taste the antibiotics shortly after they went in.

Makes sense. I once knew a guy who could blow smoke out his eyes.

Hope it's healing up quick. I envy your candidacy for such an operation. They just laughed at me.

Is that because your prescription is too high? They told me they wouldn't do Lasik on me for that reason which is why they recommended PRK.

Talk to Hertzig - they do the full range of eye care, from standard Lasik to cataract and glaucoma treatment. They may still say you're a bad candidate, but the consultation is free.

High-ass prescription + dry eyes. The dry eyes were the biggie, cause the procedure can result in drier eyes. It's why I can't wear contacts regularly either. Giant bummer.

I could ask my Opt again. It's been a few years. Right now we need to look at the pressure that's building in my football shaped lazy R eye first. Yeah, yeeha, eyes.

So exciting that you can see the damn clock though, eh? I can imagine that's pretty damn cool.

[the-siobhan.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah. They're really cautious about dry eyes, so I can see that being a deal-breaker. Especially since it means you may not heal properly.

Maybe sola can hook me up with a new pair!

Well, that probably rules you out of the Tour De France this year.
