What if?

I have read about Blepharospasm, and it sounds very much like what I have going on.   My left eyelid is frequently closed and my vision seems to get worse as each day progresses, till in the evening I am resorting to using a magnifying glass to read, I suppose this is at least in part to the fact that I do not think to put wetting solution in my eyes. I do not notice any twitching in my eyelids untill I lay down to sleep. But I saw this post in a Parkinsons Conversation .

“Have you been to an ophthalmologist or just your PCP or optometrist?  As in all things Parkinson’s it is important to see the right doc. An ophthalmologist will do a Schirmer test to diagnose the problem. If he prescribes Restasis, it works in about 75% of cases. It is used twice a day, whereas conventional wetting eye drops might be needed 20 to 50 times a day. It is worth trying. My optometrist, who prescribes it now, uses a Canadian mail order pharmacy at about 1/10 the cost.”

I just thought I’d share it as a “what if?”
