Morning all. I kept on and on to DH to go to have an eye test "why should I?" "I don't wear/need specs" "I haven't had an eye test since I was a teenager"
Well I finally wore him down and, much to my disappointment, it seems the pressure in his eyes is high-he is suitably chastened and glad I nagged him.
He's faithfully put in his drops and I think he thought problem solved. I said wait til you have pressures measured again and, sadly, one eye's pressure is still too high and he has already lost some peripheral vision (which he's not aware of).
So. . . New drops, he can still drive.
As a v talented artist (and he's producing more paintings/drawings than he's ever done!) his sight is so critical to him-as to everyone of course.
So back for another pressure test in four weeks?
