A redneck moves from the trailerhood to the suburbs for a little patch of dirt to call home and set up an as much as possible self sufficient lifestyle. Some things will go better than planned, others worse. Hopefully, most will at best be somewhere in between.

Castor Oiling My Eyeballs
My brother is being seen by a butt load of Doctors all up, down and across the state of Mississippi. And they can't seem to "agree on the color of shite" as Mel Gibson said of the nobles in Braveheart.
Either his eyes aren't sending the information or the information from his eyes isn't reaching his brain but to the point, he can't see worth a tinker's damn.
Our Mom, actually the best computer person in our family at age 78 is always looking up stuff on the computer. It seems she found that not only being an effective laxative, castor oil is said to be good for lubricating the eyeballs, staving off and possibly preventing cataracts. I'm always one for "old school" remedies, myself. At last eye Doctor's visit I was told I "may have the possible beginnings of cataracts" and do have "floaters" in my eyeballs. Floaters are, as best I understand, little pieces of crap and crud that have broken loose from somewhere on the inner eye surface and float around in my eyeball juice. Side note: nowadays, castor oil ain't that easy to find. Anyway, I've been putting a drop in each eye (as Mom does for brother).
When I wake up, my eyes do feel less scratchy and dry so that's a good thing. If you do decide to try this, only do it right before bed as in my experience, the oil will blur my vision for a while.
Last note, make 100% sure you use castor oil. Perhaps some other oil would do no harm and possibly even be better but this is the only one my Mom has suggested I use so I'm going with that!
