opticrom in Japan

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

I use eye drops on a fairly regular basis for a couple reasons. First, my right eye is misshaped and due to a childhood concussion sits a bit forward in the socket. This means that it doesn't always closed properly at night, I'm told, and is slowly drying and congealing. In the scans I have "haze" in my eye goo. So I occasionally remember to use drops for that. Otherwise, I use a topical off-the-shelf thing when I've been staring at a monitor for many hours.

The drops I've found effective contain something called cromolyn sodium ophthalmic solution. I thought I might find this at the locale drug store (because I found a particularly good store) but despite there being about 35 products on offer, I am reminded again how different this place is. Because it's not just that there is such a profusion of products but that they have weird variants like mint flavoring. Why do you need flavored eye drops?

It's a fairly low-priority matter but suffice it to say that I'll be starting my research into eye drops all over again.
