| | | Oh boy! I hope not! I'm hooked on the coffee and the thought of having work done on my eyes makes me want to pass out.
Speaking of which I probably should call for my year and a half check up.

Hope it works that way forever for you T. Since I opted not to get laser for my macular edema, which has all miraculously cleared up since I didn't opt for laser like 3 doctors wanted, I have to go in every 3 months.
How have your eyes been lately mars? Havent seen you on in a while. |

| | | I'll pad this a bit: 6 visits since Oct. 25th. I guess surgery is cheating.
I was every 4 months for a couple years then every 3 months like you, but I'm hoping to cut back too. |

| | Caffeine was great for my Retinopathy, after a lot of research and personal experience, Caffeine does suppress the vessels!
