Thanks, Katie......

My optician said, stop fussing, it's common, but I suspect he was
blustering because he didn't really know......
the eye consultant said, don't worry, the drops will help....
The neurologist said, don't bother with the drops just get dark
glasses, and he also said, wow this really interesting because it's so
unusual, can you come and be a test case for medical students!
None of the professionals I have seen were alarmed, which seems
reasonable enough since it's not apparently serious, but none of them
appreciated the difference it has made not only to my vision, but my
self-image. Perhaps I'm just a worrier.....

for a while but they didn't work for me they just seemed to make
things worse - vision wise, so I stopped using them.
