Eye Problems
Since early yesterday morning, my right eye has been swimming in a sea of blood vessels. As my better half said this morning: "That's one angry eye!" So, thinking I might be suffering from some heretofore unknown allergy, or that I might have somehow gotten a corneal abrasion, I went to my primary care physician to have it checked out. He ruled out corneal abrasion, conjunctivitis, and any of the other usual suspects. And since the eye also experience a sharp pain anytime it was exposed to bright lights, he sent me off to an ophtalmologist immediately. So I went. The diagnosis after a short examination: a very small corneal ulcer. Treatable with antibiotic drops. Which I'm doing. We'll see how it turns out. Not something I'd wish on anyone.
Sounds painful! Hope you get better soon.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes for a fast (and full) recovery.
ReplyDeleteThanks, eric and lamom. After just a half day of antibiotic drops, I'm 200% better. So, all appears good. Just the price of aging, I guess!
