When he got home I noticed his eyes looked watery, but just thought he was tired. Today in the sunlight I realized there actually seems to be a growth or something in the whites of both eyes. It's in the farthest from his nose side of the eyes. I will make an eye appt tomorrow, but just wondered if anyone has any idea what this could be. Thanks, Kathy

I don't know how far you are from NYC, but NY Ear & Ear Infirmary on 14 street in Manhattan is one of the best eye hospitals in the country, if ever needed. Good luck.
