what is it in eyes, veins or arteries? I'll call them thingies.
anyway many years ago I was getting glasses sorted out and having a talk to the optometrist who was also a pilot.
while he was measuring things he went quiet. "gees mate you've got silver wire thingies you'd better get that sorted out."
so off I went and got a checkup and was prescribed a statin. it reacted badly with my bod, felt like knitting needles being poked into my liver. doc changed the prescription to ruovustatin which I have been on now for quite a few years.
last glasses redo I asked my (different) optometrist about my silver wire thingies. after a few minutes of peering around he sat back and said "if you ever had it you certainly dont have it now."
ymmv but I weigh in on the side of statins. the little buggers have worked for me.
