Am I the only one that is having problems loading the site?
I'm legally blind, and can't drive, with no insurance. I was born with cataracts, and had to have my lenses removed when I was 16 weeks old. With corrrective vision my eyesight is 20/50 in my good eye, and 20/200 in my bad eye, which is my left eye, and is also the eye I have glaucoma in. I can't afford my eyedrops, so I self-medicate with marijuana (please don't judge me, it's WAY cheaper, and my friend won't rip me off like the pharmacutical [sp] company will) instead. I only use enough to get my pressure down so I don't go blind, and it doesn't really effect me other than that anyway, so it's win win I guess. My eye doctr, who I have gone and seen every month since I was born says he doesn't blame me either.

The fact that glasses and contacts are so overpriced is sad, especially when I need them. I wear contacts to correct my vision, my perscription is like a +8.00 in my good eye and a +10.00 in my bad eye, and those are pretty cheap, but glasses for me run like 300 dollars and up. Insurance won't cover it, which doesn't matter, because I lost my inssurance last year and nobody else will take me. What a country we live in. Without my eye drops, I'll go blind and the government won't help me out, but they will surely arrest me for marijuana possesion. $280 for a 30 day supply for one drop, and $90 every fifteen days for the other, sorry, I would rather have running water. I have to choose between risking my future to go to jail, spending all my money on drops that shouldn't cost that much, or going blind. I don't know which is the lesser evil.

Anyway, I know it was a long post, but the point is, this would be wonderful. If I could find a perscription to wear over my contacts, I might be able to drive! I would have independence for once in my life. But I can't get the darn page to load. It says done and it's completely blank. Just my luck! My ex-insurance company must be watching. :/ 300 dollars for glasses right now would make me have to starve for the month, haha. Especially with gas the way it is.

If anyone else is having the loading problem, though, and figured out a solution, I would LOVE to see this page.
