[AT] 430V update

[Rena Glover Goss]

BTDT on the eye surgery several years ago, Charlie.  After the initial operation, the repeats or additional corrections on it were done by laser during an "in office" visit.  The particulars on the operation vary from region to region, so you may or may not have the same options that I had.  Good luck anyway.  Keep the IOP down!  Even though the normal range is from 10 to 20 mm, some eye surgeons want to keep it at less than 10.
