[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 563053, member: 1233"] Thanks, all. I will monitor blood sugar and have the glaucoma test re-done. It was done about six mos ago and all looked fine. I haven't had any other symptoms of blood sugar problems, but that isn't always something you can feel. As an FYI for any of you who have eye issues now or will in the future, their are several brands that package the drops in many individual dose units. They are each sterile, and after you use them you throw the little ampule away. This keeps your drops from going bad. I used to never pay attention to how long a bottle had been open as long as the expiration date hadn't been passed. Then I did a little research for a friend and learned that eyedrops that are not kept refrigerated go bad super fast, and that even drops you refrigerate go bad in 14days. By "go bad" I mean they develop a large amount of bacteria and can permanently damage your eyes. So I urge you ALL to use the individual dose drops even if they are more expensive. Saving the amt of money that is the price difference between the bottle and the indiv drops is being penny wise and pound foolish. The indiv doses are handy because they don't need refrigeration and you can safely use a dose on a spouse or kid with-o risking infection for either of you. Jessie cannot get her license. She has seizures and it isn't safe or legal. If we can get a doctor to get them under control, then she MIGHT be able to. It depends on the doctor and on the Dept. Of Public Safety. Sorry my sig was out of date, I forgot to change it when the kids had bdays! [/QUOTE]
