I have a horrible thing about needles and another about my eyes. I had both onset events examined immediately because I was horrified at the thought of diminished or loss of sight... then the thought of injections should things get worse. The first one still bugs me but the second one is hardly noticeable, thankfully since it's in my good eye. They seem most noticeable when I get tired or when driving at night... don't do much of that anymore.

Hope all goes well today!
