My mom has dry eyes. She has to take a daily med, twice a day, and sit with an eye pillow over her eyes for a few minutes while it takes effect. Every time she does it, she asks me if other people get dry eyes, if I've ever heard of it, or how everyone else in her senior circle seems to have it.
I once had a skin tag removed from my eyelid. The doc asked me if I wanted anesthetic, but convinced me that administering that might be more painful than just letting him cut it. So he cut it. Feckin hurt. He was not a pretty Vietnamese ophthalmologist. He was a handsome Indian ophthalmologist. Back in my AFS daze, I caught a metal splinter in my eye. The ER doc flicked it out with a hypo needle. She was stunningly beautiful and her image is burned into the back of my retina - so surreal - and I did opt for anesthesia on that one.
Eye issues suck.
