here is what my eye dr told me. it may or may not apply to you. older
persons and/or pd'ers may have a reduction in the "normal" blink rate.
when this occurs, the eye is not being washed naturally as frequently as
it should be and "goop" accumulates causing irritation, tearing, etc.
solution: 2 to 3 times a day soak/rinse the eye with hot/warm water. i
use a tissue. it works so well for me that after a few days my eyes are
normal and i stop soaking and the cycle begins anew in 4 - 5 days. the
condition is called blepheritis sp?. in any event i am not a dr and this
is only my experience.
 
now i have a question. is sinemet pronounced sign-met or cine-met?
 
sure is neat to be able to type an entire note in lower case except for
the " and ? and not have people wonder why?
