[Blindtlk] Eye Poking

[nikki Wunderlich]

I went through a period where I went through wanting to press on my eyes
too, and I went to the eye doctor, and I found out my eyes were dry and they
prescribed some eye drops which helped. Now the only time I do that is if I
get a sharp pain in my eyes either before during or after a headache. I can
see some though, so my eyes have stimulus for the most part. Well I hope
this helps!

Dear List,

I have a really rather embarrassing problem that I am loath to admit to
others who are blind.  But it's getting a bit worse and I've never seemed to
be able to totally get rid of it.  Since I was a very small child, I've had
the habbit of eye pressing or eye poking (apparently those with Leybers tend
to have this sometimes, from what I know.) I am a senior in high school now
and have been able to get rid of the habbit for extended periods of time,
but it's always come back.  This year (I think somewhat due to stress) it is
back again.  It seems like my eyes want some sort of stimulation, and feel
kind of dry/uncomfortable a lot of the time.  It doesn't look great and I
can usually stop myself in public.  Have any of you dealt with this problem?
I feel sort of ashamed of it, so any help from any of you on how to stop/how
to maybe make my eyes feel less uncomfortable would be sincerely
apprreciated.

I hope you are all having a happy Easter (assuming you celebrate it of
course.)
