Blister but NOT hydrops

Postby space_cadet » Fri 06 May 2011 10:49 am

So I had a topography earlier this morning, result is no wonder I am getting migranes so much got a blister in the centre of left cornea which is putting pressure on my optic nerve. Been told it is not hydrops and back on tuesday to try think up an action plan.

Oh Keratoconus have I mentioned my hatred of you recently?!?!

Just dropped in to more-or-less take my mind off the tragi-comedy that my house refurb is putting me through (sparkies, chippies, garden landscapers, HVAC contractors, I'm fed up with the lot of 'em* -- they've each been taking it in turn to heap misery on my innocent attempts to get them to work together; sometimes they even gang together with their tales of woe, like a Greek chorus).

Then I realise it's all relative, there are worse things that can happen. Anyhow, glad you can at least say "it's not as bad as it could have been..."

All the best

Chris

Every good wish, Lea. Let us know how you get on with your blister (and, if you think we'd understand, your university work, too!).
