Glaucoma is a global term that refers to eye pressure only. There are many different types of glaucoma. I have the type of glaucoma where my lens covers the drain. It was diagnosis about 30 years ago. I have had 50 laser holes drilled in each eye, and several other things. The last thing they did was shot (laser) certain spots in one eye, and when your body goes to fix it, it also fixes the other eye. Next time they will laser the other eye. i have a pterygium on each eye. One started to grow over my cornea so they took it off by peeling off a layer of the surface of the eye and replace it with lab grown tissue. What a _____ operation. (I'll fill that in 2+ weeks.) And @Shyheels, welcome to the 'club'.

1995, bought a pair of heels on a whim - and never looked back. Wifey thought I was nuts. sf

I hope all goes well. I just paid a long overdue visit to the optometrist myself - having always had razor sharp 20/10 vision I’ve been in denial for years that it just wasn’t so anymore. Finally I had to take the plunge and now I have reading glasses. Thankfully the eyes in general were in good nick.

Well folks, it's official. I'm going under the knife in two weeks. Actually, there will be no knives involved, just a laser. I went to an ophthalmologist yesterday to get my high eyeball pressure problem assessed. Evidently, they now have a way to treat this condition that is putatively permanent, without having to resort to daily eyedrops or periodic injections. Apparently, I am a good candidate for this procedure, and it's pretty quick--about 15 minutes per eyeball. Thankfully, I have not yet developed glaucoma, i.e., there is no functional damage to the inner workings of my eyes. I got two overt compliments on my Steve Madden blush colored pumps, one from one of the techs who administered the battery of tests I had to run through, and one from a fellow patient.

Today I scored a thrift store nude two fer. The first pair is Aldo. The heel measures 4 and a 1/2 inches. They have some discoloration in spots, but still very usable. They have a finish on them that I haven't seen before. It is a combination of flat, suede, and patent all at the same time. And in certain lighting, they almost look like a two tone nude. The second pair is from Jessica Simpson. They are open toed with a bow like detailing across the toes. The heel measures 4 and a 1/2 inches.

For me, wearing heels evolved in different stages. From an early age (early teens) i was fascinated with heels, loved the shape and appearance. I cant remember when i tried on a pair of heels for the first time but the furtherest memory i have is in the early 90's, trying a pair of heels my friend (she) had lying about. I was lucky as i have small feet so the fit was almost right. I purchased my first pair in my late 20s (late 90's) when i lived on my own. I accumulated a small collection of heels and boots which i wore occasionally when opportunities arose. Leaping forward til about 6 years ago, wearing heels is basically a daily event for me. The styles have changed a lot over the years, and have a mixed array of styles and colours, but now comfort is the foundation of any pair i add to my collection.
