I know how you feel!!! I have astigmatisim plus early signs of glaucoma or at least thats what the eye doctor says . I got glasses when I was 11. I can't wear contacts because SOMETHING in the salene solution *I can't even get salene as a fluid IV drip, I swell up and well die...ick* makes my eyes puss, literally. I get puss coming out of my tear ducts, very gross and very painful actually. My stupid insurance only covers eye exams/glasses every two years. I always am blind by the time exam time rolls around. I have horrid horrid photosensitivity but of course no lens manufacturer on earth seems to know how to get perscription sunglasses right so I either have a headache from the light or a headache from bad glasses (do you have this problem too, not getting good perscription shades?) Driving at night really stinks cause most people have those super bright headlights and I cant see worth a darn in that bright of light. So I drive with my sunglasses on *or did when I had a good pair eons ago* and get pulled over . I drive normally at night and get pulled over because I can't see the dang lines with a car with bright headlights behind me. Sigh...I am very glad I have almost superhuman ears...makes it so I don't have to rely on my eyes nearly as much lol.

I hope it isn't anything sirious!!! Good thoughts heading your way!
