Oh Brenda,
What an awful ordeal youve had to go through with Doctors and Specialists to no avail. Seems your Optometrist was quite thorough which is great! in terms of the eye itself. Just wondered, there are so many things that could attribute to the eye problem, and so frustrating for you to have gotten nowhere. Sounds like you have a good plan right now that is helping.

Keep us updated!!! Hugs!!! that it disappears as quick as it started!!! Melinda xo
