Quick list of a few common things that need attention but can have excellent recovery results once treated.

Blood sugar, blood pressure, AFib, stress, fatigue, infection, dehydration, dry eyes, contaminant. Just to name a few.

I'll say prayers that you overcome the vision problems.

I, for one, can not do progressive lenses. I was "Guaranteed" that I would love them. I did not. I wore them 14 days and took them back & got bifocals. I told the Dr I wanted 18" distance for the readers. He made it happen. I do use some cheapo magnifiers for certain things like welding.

Scary news, but remember doctors have to look for what might be the worst. Still hope for simpler solutions.

David - best wishes for a quick resolution. You will figure out the $ part one way or another, get diagnosed and see what the options are.

I THINK THERE ARE 3 OPTIONS,DEPENDING ON TUMOR SIZE,
TINY TUMOR...SUCK IT OUT THRU THE SINUSES
BIG TUMOR..USE CHAINSAW TO OPEN HEAD TO REMOVE TUMOR
MASSIVE TUMOR... LIVE WITH IT UNTIL DEATH KILLS IT.
