Just thinking/wondering if everyone who has physically still got eyes - even if 
they're not actually getting used as such - also has to continually make use of 
various types of eye drops, etc. etc.

Aside from standard eye drops, I have tried out things like tear gel, which is 
a sort of local anaesthetic liquid for painful eyes, but currently sometimes 
use some actual voltaren eye drop stuff, since my silly eyes seem to keep on 
giving me pain, etc. - sort of feeling like they've got sand in them etc. some 
of the time.

I at one stage went to go see an opthalmologist this side, and she wanted me to 
carry on using some or other specific eyedrops that she prescribed, roundabout 
twice a day, but I got gatvol of her sort of ignoring any questions I asked 
her, and just sort of changing the subject all the time, when I asked her about 
the funny/strange shapes I am permanently visualising as such, etc. etc., but 
in any case while she reckoned thos eye drops were healthy, they didn't really 
help for dry feelings/pain etc.

Anyway, I know us blindies apparently don't blink often enough, and I do wear 
sunglasses to block wind/air if driving in someone's car for more than just a 
quick pop round wherever, but was just wondering if anyone else has a 
better/specific way of working around stuff like this?

TIA (thanks in advance)
