Since Ray posted about my eye problems on his blog, Construction Projects in Ecuador, many people have written borh of us offering advice and support. I thank you for this. For those of you who worried about my blood pressure, it is 110/80 in both arms. Not bad for an old broad.
I have a wonderful ophthalmologist, Dr. Arioflo Vazquez. He did a retinal scan yesterday (I had dye injected in my veins, so I was a lovely shade of yellow yesterday) and gave me some Nevanac drops to clear up the blood in my eye. He also found a problem in my right eye. I see him again Tuesday.
I will, of course, keep you informed. But if you haven't seen your eye doctor lately, go!
Until next time, be well.
Do you know if he treats glaucoma? I am arriving in 2 weeks from Seattle and need a back up eye doctor, in case of emergency. I will be going back to Seattle a couple of times of year to have my eyes checked but think I should also have someone in Cuenca.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure he does. I have the name of another ophthallmologist, as well, but I think Dr. Vazquez is great.
