i think it's the other way around. the eye is the roughly the same size from birth til death (unless we're talking macular degeneration or something). so if the pressure increases, it has to be due to an increase in vitreous humor, not due to shrinkage of the eye.elpmis said:I knew what you meant

well think about what the rest of the female body goes through- swollen feet, swollen abdomen, general cushioning for the fetus. there's a lot more liquid content in there, why shouldn't it go to the eyes as well?elpmis said:damn I could have sworn pressure in the eye drops by about 8 or 9%.

KNYTE said:, then what do you do with his Happy Meal prize/toy?
Thorn Bird said:you stash them away until you need a road trip toy, or a stocking stuffer, or a last-minute gift for a birthday party, depending on the toy, of course.
we're not allowed to go to mcdonald's, but if i could, i'd go buy all those strawberry shortcake figurines they have now.
