when i went to utah this year, i noticed a big difference in the air. i knew it was drier, but didn't expect it to bother my eyes so much. i stayed a month just to hang out and see. eventually decided that leading trips in the desert, sleeping in sand, having not enough time to baby my eyes the way they needed, was not a good idea this year.
since i wouldn't be leading trips, i decided to go hang out in california to give eyes a break from the dry air. several hrs into the drive, managed to scratch my cornea "substantially" (as the first dr put it.) fortunately found an optometrist around on memorial day weekend who came in and fixed me up. spent night in a motel and am now testing to see if my eye will be ok to finish the remaining 10 hr drive.
extremely appreciative of drs and nurses at various med/eye clinics here. and very kind, all of them. one nurse walked me out to my car. the first place didn't charge me anything, and the second guy only charged for a standard office visit even though he came in at night.
