Re: 2nd opinion - hit the nail on the head
glad you have got some sort of answer and a plan of act to resolve the problem. Hope it all works and you can start the full recovery process soon.
Life is too short for drama & petty things!
So laugh insanely, love truly and forgive quickly!
I´m not strange, I´m just not normal
Every sixty seconds you spend angry, upset or mad is a full minute of happiness you never get back

That sounds much more positive - things are always much more scary when there isn't an explanation. Now you know exactly what's going on, and hopefully the new medication will start working and put you on track to recovery. Hang on in there - I'm sure you'll get there!
All the very best

Think positive, the big train is on another track and going to make no impression at all and just pass you buy.
I'm sure I'm not the only one wishing you the all the best for a speedy recovery now you have this positive prospect.

Re: 2nd opinion - hit the nail on the head
The new eye drops i have been given to replace the celluvisc are called Oxyal. I have also been given some Maxitrol Ointment to rub into my lid margins.
The Oxyal is a lot harder to administer than the celluvisc. It is a bottle instead of individual minims and the nozzle is thicker so cannot get it as close to my eye.
Lets hope this works

Re: 2nd opinion - hit the nail on the head
I find for such drops looking in the mirror and tilting my head back but moving my eyes so i am lookung toward my chin you can stills ee int he mirror. Then pulling the lower lid down slightly it craetes anice well to catch the eye drops and then rolling my eyes a couple of times before gently letting the lid go.
Hope that makes sense.
