Hi Red eye I hope your cold is better for Thursday. Glad you like my blog, it is a bit pink but then I am a girly girl :D Do you feel that you are ready to go for it?

My GP also ho...

Hi Johnny

I am still wearing eye shield at night as I lie on my left side. I am not that bothered by micropore and am quite used to wearing it now so you may find that as your eye becomes less uncomfortable the shield will become easier.

Hope all is going well and your eye is getting better

Hi Andrew yep I wear it for sleep. I have too because I have a BAD habit of rubbing my eyes and I sleep on left hand side. I poked and rubbed my eye watching telly on the sofa and I think for those moments I forgot I had lots of stitches and a new cornea! It does smart though and I will be trying no...
