eye check-up

(Post by email. Let's see if the formatting works this time. If not, I'll fix it tonight.)

I saw my opthamologist again this morning. She noted a small problem and gave me some new eye drops (along with instructions to return in a week).

She said the drops are a mild steroid. Steroids are supposed to make you strong, right? But they're drops, not pills, so I don't think I get the usual benefits. I don't imagine that my eyeballs are going to be doing push-ups or lifting impressive weights or the like, so what effect do I get? I'm kind of hoping for X-ray vision, myself. :-)
