Glaucoma

I went to see Dra. Lourdes Javier today to upgrade my eyeglasses. I have been having headaches lately specially after watching tv shows and browsing through the internet. I definitely thought the head aches have something to do with my eyes. After Dr. Javier confirmed that I needed a new pair of glasses, she further checked on my eyeballs. She immediately suspected that I have glaucoma and insisted that I see Dr. Lapuz, an eye specialist. She said she would not let me go home to Cotabato until I have seen Dr. Lapuz. And so I did and to make a long story short.......I underwent laser correction for glaucoma today. I am just so amazed how technology has advanced this far today. I went through a painless (but quite uncomfortable) laser treatment for less than 30 minutes for both eyes. Amazingly, When I opened my eyes, I could see as clear as day light. Then I went through my day activities as though nothing had really happened. Well, I need to drop eye drops though as prescribed by the doctor for one month. That's all folks...at least a happy solution to my problem hehehe
