That’s a lot of things that can go wrong with an eyeball.

my my. A visual demo. Not the sort of thing you put out of your mind easily. . Creased retina sounds nauseau inducing, at the very least. Thank you for starting our day off with a bang and possibly a whimper…Nicely done, Ron

as I age I have far more eye allergies ??

Wow, lots of diseases of the eye. Hopefully most of these are fixable. There are so wondrous things to see.

The picture says (or sees?) it all! I don’t see my eye issue on the list. I think it’s chronic blocked tear ducts that create infection, have to soak them with hot compress and massage. I think it begins with an M but I couldn’t find it online just now. You know how you have to know how to spell a word to look it up in the dictionary.
