Hello everyone

How are you today?

Let's talk about our eyes. Did you know that about two thirds of the adult US population wear some kind of glasses or contacts? That's a lot of lenses!

What about you, do you wear glasses or contacts? How long have you had them? Have your eyes gotten worse or stayed relatively the same as you got older?

Share your eye journey!

Take care,

Lizzi from the Carenity team

I have classes I can remember when I first got them back 66 years ago the doctor saying just wear them for about six months to a year and your eyes will be all fixed some 67 years later I’m still wearing them in my eyes just keep getting worse. I went to the doctor like maybe six months ago and got new glasses and they are not working now I need exam and glasses press the last time I went and I had a blood, so they had to do laser surgery so maybe that’s why there’s no bad

HELLO EVERYONE, MOST PEOPLE HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE SIDE EFFECTS OF ANTI-MALARIA PLACQUENIL. I NOW HAVE GLACOMA DUE TO THE DRUG BUT, I THINK I AM HEADING FOR A REMISSION. (Is it worth it?? for me YES)

MAKE YOUR DECISIONS BUT BE SURE TO LOOK UP THE SIDE EFFECTS OF THE MEDICINES BEFORE TAKING THEM.

STAY OUT OF THE HEAT AND SUN, LUPUS WILL PROGRESS WITH THE SUMMER. LOOK AT MOVIES LIKE I DO AND I ALSO RUN A SUPPORT GROUP IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. KEEP YOUR MIND ACTIVE.

MANY BLESSSINGS

MICHELE AKA MICKEY

(Special Hugs to Lizzi, for all her hard work)

I’ve worn glasses since I was about 7 years old/ the eyes have gotten a little worse due to a medication I was taking. Now I have that macular edema and get shots I the eye every so often.

I have worn glasses from the age of nine. I had a cyst removed when I was 16 years old. I am now 63 years old. I have now developed floaters in my eyes. In addition, I have Lupus and have also learned that my kidneys are operating at 46%. If anyone can offer, something, anything! At this point, I am afraid, that I might completely lose my eyesight! Suggestions? Help please?
