Restasis Seems to be Helping

As I mentioned in my last report on Walter's eyes, his doctor had him trying out Restasis. Walter really couldn't tell from his daily experiences if there was a change in his sight. But his exam shows that Walter has made a tiny bit of progress.

First, the doctor had Walter look at the eye chart. In the last visit he could only see the big E on the top. This time he could make out one of the two letters below it - the L. Also, when the doctor looked into his eye he said he likes what he sees. The surface of the cornea seems to be smoothing out and that's what would improve his vision. Dr. McKillop said his eye is looking the best he's seen it so far.

I love being able to report good news on this topic. Walter goes back in a month. In the meantime it looks like Restasis may be a permanent addition to Walter's eyedrop regime.
