Heh I feel you on this one - it’s not a fun contest to “win” but I also find the “I have bad eyes” complaints funny when I have had 5 retinal detachment surgeries, leaving one eye completely blind. My good eye has had one RD surgery, glaucoma caused by surgery, cataract surgery, and is now facing macular degeneration. I get monthly eye injections to halt new blood vessels from growing. I basically live at the retinal specialist.
I hope your eye troubles keep at bay for many moons to come!
