that this is an old wives tale or something . A man I met recently told
me that his friend used his glaucoma meds , shortly after cataract
surgery and was blinded ? I know I am not to use mine , but did consider
it as my eyes are uncomfortable . I have been using liquigel and Genteal
Gel . Of course I plan to ask my doctor about this but if this is true
others should be allerted . NO One told me that if I used the meds I
would go blind for Pete's sakes ; )

Stop worrying so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No, you won't go blind if you use your glaucoma meds, but if your
doctor told you not to, then don't. It's not an old wives tale, since
I've never heard anyone even bring it up before. Just relax...it
sounds like you're doing great but are looking for something to worry
about.

use glaucoma meds again -- For now my only problem with eyes is DRY
eyes and I am needing to put tears in them a LOT . LOl I asked my doctor
this yesterday and he gave me a weird look . But right now he --is my
favorite doctor --Only good news ; ) ; ) I'm not a worry wart !! ; /
