the nevus hasn't changed
Rita has a nevus in her eye.nevus |ˈnēvəs| |ˌnivəs| |ˌniːvəs| ( Brit. naevus)
noun ( pl. -vi |-ˌvī| |ˌniˈvaɪ| |ˌniˈvi| |-vʌɪ| |-viː|)
a birthmark or a mole on the skin, esp. a birthmark in the form of a raised red patch.
an optometrist who was doing an eye exam on her found it a couple of years ago. he became concerned when she told him that she had two other moles removed that were pre-cancerous. now she has to get it checked out every 6 months.
the doctors dilate her pupil with eye-drops so they can see into her eye more easily. the thing is, her eye stays dilated for 6 hours. she is basically blind for that length of time.
after the doctor checked it out, he said it looks exactly the same now as it has ever since they first examined it. if it ever changes, she would have to go through a crappy procedure of having her eye removed. this is not something that can be separated from the eye. i hope it never changes.
