The eye doctor agreed with me.

When I met the eye doctor (a new one but that´s another story) he asked me why was I there. I answered that I had 2 problems, a small one and a big one. The small one was that I wanted new glasses. But the big problem was that my eyelids hurt, itched and that every morning I woke up with a sort of small stone near the eyes. He then wanted me to tell him the in a scale of 1 to 10 how big were my problems. I said that, just to be nice, I´d say an 8 and not a 10. And so he examined me. After the first look he told me that he wouldn´t be able to give me new glasses. It would be, he said, the same as if I went to buy new shoes with very swollen feet. He told me that I had a big allergy, nothing infected but very nasty anyway. And he gave me 2 different eye drops, one with corticoids to use only for 7 days, and one to use until there was nothing left in the container. I asked him if the meds were generic (less expensive) as I´m retired. In my country, insurance companies don´t help with meds unless you are hospitalized. He told me that there were no good generic drugs for eyes unfortunatly. So I had to pay a great deal for the drops. But I don´t mind if if helps. I have had this problems for weeks. I just put one of the drops and I don´t know if it was because I trusted the doctor, but I feel better already I don´t mind the glasses. I have glasses and just wanted to check them and probably get a new pair. I walked a few steps from the drugist and found a place where they sold all sorts of nuts. I bought some Caju chestuts. I love them.
