RMweb Gold Happy Hippo Posted February 23 Author RMweb Gold Share Posted February 23 (edited) I thought I'd bore you all with an update after today's appointment at the Ophthalmic outpatients clinic at RSH. On arrival, the eye pressures were measured, the left eye pressure being 6 points lower than the right. I had the 100 shots of laser into each eye, and afterwards the pressures were the same as before, which is very good, as after the procedure, the pressures often rise significantly for a short period. However, the consultant was not happy with how my eyes look. Bloodshot is a sign of irritation so she has decided to change all my glaucoma medication in order to reduce the irritation. She also prescribed a five day course of anti inflammatory drops (which again is standard procedure after eye surgery). I've had to sit down and write a timetable for the 11 drops per eye per day I am now prescribed, as there needs to be a gap between taking them in order that they don't wash out the preceding set of drops. Of course, of the three sets of new drops prescribed today, the chemist only had the anti inflammatory drops in stock, so I am awaiting a call for when the new 'gentle' ones will arrive. I'll get another inspection is about 8 weeks time, to find out if this bout of laser treatment has had the desired effect. At the moment it seems to be working well with the left eye, not so much with the right. We did have quite an interesting discussion about the use of lasers and infra red light because there is obviously a slight crossover with the requirements of the laser machine they use for the surgery and the systems we use for non passive night shooting.

Get rid of the cows as they produce methane and the sheep as they damage upland habitats and plant trees instead to reduce our carbon footprint. 2 7 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyID Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Home again after a pleasant 550 mile drive from Pocatello to North Idaho. The reason it was pleasant was because the weather was beautiful. Lots of sunshine and the mountains have lot of snow. It was also quite relaxing because most of it was with the cruise control set at 82 mph and there was very little traffic on the road. The route was North on Interstate 15 then West on Interstate 90. The I-15 section crosses the Continental Divide West to East at 6,800 feet then recrosses East to West at 5,800 feet. Quite cold up there but the road was free of ice and snow. Truly spectacular on a clear day as it was today. 15 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
