[Blindtlk] Eye Pressing

[Kelby Carlson]

Okay, everybody.  It's time for me to admit an embarrassing 
confession, and to ask an equally embarrassing confession.  I 
have struggled with the habit of eye pressing or poking since I 
was just a baby, and it's still an issue to this day.  I'm in 
college and would really like to get it cleared for good.  It's 
much better than when I was little (back then it would interfere 
with things socially, now it's intermitent and rarely commented 
on.) I have LCA, and I have heard some other people with that 
particular genetic condition say it is also a problem.  Does 
anyone have any strategies to recommend for ridding myself of 
what remains of this admittedly annoying habit?
