good luck man...

I'm pretty sure being legally blind entitles you to a giant arcade monitor and somehow it will be tax deductible * (always consult with a tax professional -- this is not real tax advise)

it's a good reminder of some of the things we take for granted...

get well soon,

Talem,

Good luck !!

let us know how thing turn out .

I was almost in your situatiion.

I had a bone marrow transplant last may/june (03) . on  christmas day my eyes were stinging and no matter what I did I couldn't  releive the pain . I went to my oncologist a few days later and low and behold I had graft vs. host disease of the eyes (no it's not a vs. video game either).

Basically what happenend is my tear glands got damaged from my transplant ,I  now producce very little tears and if it weren't for a Dr. Perry Rosenthal in Brookline MA .I wouuld be legal blind with a few years. Dr. Rosenthal is the ONLY person in the world making these special scelera contact lenses.

Again good luck Talem

Signed
Ed
