Gary, Hope your birthday turns out better than the start of today. I know what you mean by the "brightness". I had an ulcer on myt cornea, left over from a case of the shingles. You can't really wear a patch over the damaged eye and hope it would help. For some reason the brain dosen't make much sense of that... bright lights still hurt. Of course looking at your computer screen probably doens't help much. So, I'm hoping you read this after you make your Dr.'s visit.
