Opthamologist Report

Update from Dr Alexandrakis, opthamologist, today.

Dad has no useable vision in his right eye.  Dad's left eye is at 20/100.  He has dry macular degeneration in both eyes.  Both corneas look good.  Dad's left eye surface is rough from not getting enough eye drops.  We need to give him eye drops every couple of hours, even when his eyes have been watering.  Continue the lube at night.  He feels that Dad's left eye will regain it's original shape, but wants to see him in 3 weeks to assure.  If it does not, and there is a chance especially because the eye lid surgery he had done in the past makes the eye lids tighter, then he will need a procedure that will most likely require him to go to L.A. for it, it is a very advanced procedure.

Tom is taking Dad to Dr Aziz right now, then to get blood drawn for a paracentisis tomorrow at 3:45.
