Thanks, Don, Jim, and Jayanand. And thanks for your concern. I went to 
the eye doctor (MD Ophthalmologist) for what turned out to be a minor 
skin irritation/infection around one eye corner. Since I haven't seen 
the eye doc for over two years, it was time for a checkup anyway. I have 
had two retina-related complications after cataract surgery some years 
ago, and eye misalignment that is corrected with prisms, all of which 
needs to be monitored. The office is observing very strict protocol.  
Everyone wears masks, people in the waiting rooms are distanced as far 
as possible, and everything that anyone touches is wiped down with 
disinfectant before and after. I felt about as safe as once can these days.

The good news is that everything is good. There have been no significant 
changes in my vision. I don't need new glasses. Monday, I get my flu 
shot under similar strict protocols. Then, Providence (or random 
chance/luck) willing, I can stay healthy and away from other humans for 
the foreseeable future.
