glaucoma



It is important to have your eyes examined regularly. Your eyes should be tested at:
Ages 35 and 40
After age 40, every two to four years
After age 60, every one to two years
Those with any high risk factors, every one to two years after age 35



By the time the patient notices something is wrong, the disease has already caused considerable damage. Unfortunately, the vision lost to glaucoma is gone forever. Medications and surgery can help slow the progression of the disease, but there is no cure.



Open-angle glaucoma, by far the most common form, has no symptoms at first. The pressure in the eye builds up slowly and gradually. At some point, side vision (peripheral vision) is lost and without treatment, total blindness can occur. Regular eye exams can help catch the disease at an early stage and prevent further damage.



so basically there's no cure.
so what if im raging inside
its something i have to learn; something i have to go through


i believe there's still hopein this world

i have great parents




who take time off to drive me home from school on a rainy day =). hehhs then i came home and slacked -- watched television (VCDs) and read i weekly and er. chatted on the phone and did NOTHING else at all =). in my slacker mood i guess, considering that i just got back my bio test. sighs. nevermind just try harder next time.




watched first mums just now. i think that sasha is so courageous to want to keep her kid. ive been thinking, do i have the courage to give birth to such a child? given that the choice is in my hands and i cant regret any decision i make later. in and out of hospitals, the heavy medical bills -- looking at what my brother went through these few months already left me with a broken heart; what if it is my own child? do i have the strength to stand beside him/her for the rest of his/her life? to support her through thick and thin? would the father support me? i wonder. i really do.

*lala land

i just slacked my weekend away -- baking ; shopping ; slacking and not doing anything =) ; and watching she with my brother. and guess what! i am so happy i wish my life can just stay this way. staying happpy slacking through lectures and not really listening during tutorials. which is what i normally do anyway. if only there'll be no block test/ a levels and school is just a place to widen my social circle.

friday was horrible. my chem spa was okay (though now im wondering if the value is supposed to be 11_) haha. and i totally screwed up biology spa. i dont know what i was doing; my hands were shaking like crazy and i didnt know how to do anything. --what happened to me --

read gwenlyn's blog. i guess im more of the xiao nu ren kind? i dont mind having someone do everything for me and i just be taitai and sit back to enjoyy my life. maybe i will probably get bored of it one day; but let's just wait for the one day to come eh. enjoy my life first

long day tomorrow just that i'll be going awwa and doing something i really like =)

i believe in fate. if we were fated to meet then we will.

mayday!



ilovemayday they saved me during maths lecture today where totally embarassing things happened. -hides my face-

昨天谁让你 受过伤 今天想要让你 都遗忘
是你 爱你让我变的更强 为你战斗永不投降
让我照顾你 我要让雨停出太阳


我超越我自己的想象 风雨刀枪能为你挡
让我照顾你 让你未来放在我肩上



让我照顾你 --mayday


tomorrow's csm! so tiring.

i thought it was supposed to be better after you talked about it, but it still hurts i guess. hmmms. somethings you just remember forever.



okayy!! class outing yesterday at sentosa, went late coz i had stuff on in the morning. when we got there we were searching for our class (with shiqi and jelene) and my nice ahma said "just look out for guys wearing shirts!". so we, thinking that the guys in our class would not take off their shirts looked around desperately to find our class. and guess what! in the end the guys were without their shirts. haha how funny. played games and splashed around in the sea, gave me a shock when shiqi told me she cant swim. reminded me of the times we went to sentosa and talked =)


too bad it rained later then we had to go harbourfront to eat. and ahma went awayy. miss you dear! ur organic wit. haha. ate pastamania and minjie tried to compete with me but it was UNFAIR competition seeing how fast he eats.


then we went to talk at rachel's condo. played indian poker but in the end every1 ignored kevin cz we all know hes story. uncovered people's stuff as we talked about things. quite interesting =)) but yea i guess sometimes it just hurts to think about it. anyway im glad that the class seems better and more cohesive.


I HAD FUN!


then reached home round 11, and piaed bio all the way to 1. my dad was like "SO LATE WHAT ARE U DOING" until i showed him the campbell book =)) hahaha
