Not exactly under the knife

Good news....sorta.

I didn't need to go under the knife. Dr. Cho, my opthamologist, said that the eyelashes aren't my big problem. So no laser treatment needed.

Instead, I have low tear production, a.k.a, dry eye. This means that there's not enough liquid forming in my tear ducts and mixing with the natural mucus in my eye. She said that's a bigger problem than my eyelashes in my eyes.

Rather than do electrolysis on my eyelids, the doc recommended a saline wash and eye drops treatment for my dry eye. She said that the problem is chronic, but at least it's not serious. She also gave me a general anesthesia so I would calm down enough for her to pluck those stray eyelashes that happen to fall towards my eyelid.

And while this means that I didn't have to be knocked out for most of the day while she removed my stray hairs, it will cost Bee about the same amount as if I were to have the surgery. Those prescriptions are pricey!

I'm still at the doc's office, and my general anesthesia is slowly wearing off. More later.
