It made me think of one of the Star Trek movies where Kirk gets a pair of reading glasses for his birthday and it's discussed that he's allergic to the prescription medicine that is normally prescribed for vision correction (I think that they called it Retinal). Kayse can't keep up at all now. lol

WOW Never, ever argue with an IDIOT. They will drag you to their level and then beat you with their years of experience

It made me think of one of the Star Trek movies where Kirk gets a pair of reading glasses for his birthday and it's discussed that he's allergic to the prescription medicine that is normally prescribed for vision correction (I think that they called it Retinal). $80 bucks a month retail is not bad. And some of us may not use the drops every day saving a little bit. I don't know about you, but I easily waste more than 2 and a half bucks a day on stuff I could really do without. How much do many spend on coffee every day? And then there's the fact that I destroy several pairs of 'cheaters' every month. So, in the end, it wouldn't cost much extra out of the budget. I think I will try to get a trial of the drops. Master, again and still

I've noticed that during checkups after last year's eye surgeries for a detached retina and cataracts, but in reverse: dilated = blurry. Learned a lot about eyesight: it's a very sensitive system, but not unlike how a camera works. I can't imagine eye drops can do anything for the shape and the bio-mechanics inside the eye.
