Eye Appt Today

Well, just returned from my eye appt so I'll make this short as my pupils are still huge. LOL
He said that everything looks good. Said there was a slight elevation in pressure but that occurs sometimes so nothing to worry about.
He said he also noticed a small abnormality with a few blood vessels but nothing to be concerned with and that my vision is not/will not be affected so he is doing nothing for now. He said it has a lot to do with surviving with D for 23 years.
So, all in all, a good visit. Seems I worried for naught.

Thanks Bethany. I know you have been through the wringer with your eyes and I dread the day that mine start giving me problems. Hope yours are doing better.

Maybe they won't, Cin. It's not a given.
