Are Your Ailments Ailing You?
My above-average eye pressure needs monitoring, so I have annual check-ups with an eye specialist. My pupils are medically enlarged for the examination – and I’m unable to see well for what’s left of that day. I have to get eye drops every month from the chemist and the drops are tested on animals – something appalling to me! Another ailment of mine is near-sightedness, and the drops make my eyes too dry to wear contact lenses for more than a short time in a day, so I have to wear spectacles, which I really don’t like to!
