Eye tests and stuff

One of the tablets I'm currently taking can cause my tear ducts to dry up so J1 has to test my eyes every week with these little paper sticks. It's called Schirmer's test and they use it on humans too.

The sticks are bent over at the cutout part and placed under the bottom eyelid. J1 does each eye in turn.

Then I have to stand there for 1 minute

The stick acts like blotting paper and a blue line appears which indicates how moist my eyes are. After 1 minute, the stick is taken out and J1 reads the number at the blue line.

Phew! It's fine this week!
I've got to have an ultrasound on my stomach on Tuesday. I hate vets!
