When I had my visual field tests at various ophthalmologist appointments (and the one visit to a neuro-ophtho) I usually start to fall asleep during the tests.

It's soooooo boring!!

I try to warn the techs that are administering the tests that I tend to fall asleep during them. (I also fall asleep sitting at my computer reading all the time. I dont sleep at night apparently)

The OCT's are always fun tho...the red blinky lights are kind of pretty. My ophtho got his OCT machine last year (he didnt have one the first time I saw him for the ON) and I'm really kind of intrigued by that machine. I like being able to see pictures of my optic nerve. (they usually print one off for me)

I need to check and see when I see the ophthalmologist again, I need to get a refill for the allergy eye drops he gives me. (Pataday drops) We're going into allergy season, and I really dont want a repeat of last spring when my eyes got so dry that I went thru a couple of bottles of eye drops in a couple of days. That was really an uncomfortable feeling, having my eyes get so dry that it made my vision seem really weird.

It just sucks that the Pataday drops are so freaking expensive. I think it's like $80 (with insurance) just for 1.5mL of Pataday. The samples he gave me a Rx for last year (had to get them from the pharmacy with a coupon that made them "free". Had to pay for the samples and send the coupon in with the receipt to get the money back) those were just .5mL and they were nearly $30 for the two bottles!
