“I really liked my Dr. she looked at my eye and confirmed it was a stye that was causing the redness. But she listened when I told her that I was not seeing real clear and said I want to get to the bottom of why you are not seeing clear. It turns out I have PCO in both my eyes. Glad to walk out of the office knowing what I have is not permanent.”
