Remember a few months ago when I reported my treatment "cure" for my big
Severums popeye? Someone posted about their vet puncturing around the eye
socket with a syringe to bring down the pressure. I tried it myself, and he
was perfect in everyway in a couple of weeks. Well guess what? It's back,
and worse than ever! He was fine for months. Anyone have a guess as to why?
Maybe just plain old age, and the puncture was temporary?

Isn't this a case of removing a symptom, not the cause? We take an
anspirin to lower fevers, but that doesn't remove the cause. My best
guess. Doctoring involves a lot of trial and error.
