Okay, that makes sense. If this doesn't work, you may have to go through a
procedure to filter the internal fluids of your left eye. It's an amusing
process, usually reserved for cataracts, and watching it is a great deal
like observing a Hellraiser movie coming to life.
Just relax, stare away from the needle and you'll be okay. Good luck to
you, Jim.
