Base10's Eye Update

Base10 had his follow-up visit over the weekend and is happy to report that his cornea is much improved. The initial swelling went down and Base10's condition--unpronounceable by non-physicians--is highly manageable. The only thing is, Base10 has to rub salt in his eyes. No kidding! Saline in the eye at least twice a day and before bed. The saline makes your eyeball shrink slightly so that the lid does not attach itself to the epithelial cells on the surface of the cornea. That plus those "tear drop" things. Base10 still has to follow up with a cornea specialist, and if the symptoms keep recurring laser surgery may be necessary. That being said, so far, so good.
