      This is just a quick vent, please ignore me.

      I get to have two eye surgeries in the next 5 months. On a positive note, I am sure it will take my mind off of my tinnitus for a few hours each time.

      I am having something called Corneal Cross Linking done. It is done to try and stop a condition called Kertaconos from worsening. What it does is strengthen the cornea and keeps it from misshaping anymore than it already has. In some cases it even improves ones eyesight from what it was pre-op. (lets hope for that)

      From what I am told, it is a "minor" surgery and relatively painless. I'm just whining for the sake of whining.

      Cheers,
      Keith

      @krispin,
      My son had it done 2 month ago and went on fine as he had a dent in his and missshapen.
      They told him it would not fix it but stop it getting worse and now waiting for a eye test to see what is vission is like now.
      Love glynis

      Well it is good to hear that it went well. My biggest concern is whether I can do a bike race in early August. My Dr. Says "SURE~! why not?" While I am reading all over the place that you can't do anything that exerts yourself for 6+ weeks.

      That would suck more than the surgery.

      I laughed at that one and totally get it. I hope everything goes ok for you.
