[Blindtlk] gross but what do I do?

[Robert J Smith]

Hi all, here's a good one for you.  I have two prosthetic eyes, the 
plastic shell style which rides on round silicone implants in the sockets. 
 Fluid will build up underneath the prosthetic eyes and I will then pick 
at the corners of my sockets to get it out or pull the plastic eye shell 
away from the implant to then make it bubble out then wipe it off.  I hate 
doing this and I know it's gross but if I don't do it it will come out of 
its own accord and that looks bad too as illustrated by my sighted wife 
who told me one time that I "have something in the corner of your eye".  I 
felt there and it was fluid built up.  I think that part of it is alergies 
but part of it is simply the fact that everybody's eye socket produces 
fluid to keep the eyes moist and mine is collecting under the eye shells. 
When I go in for cleaning and maintenance of the eyes, I am told 
repeatedly that the implants, the socket tissue, and the fit is fine.

Thanks much in advance,

Bob Smith
