This Eye is Broken. Can I get a Replacement?
5 years ago
So I haven't posted a new journal recently because not a whole lot new or significant has happened to me...until last month. During July and August, my right eye would be kind of irritated, like a dry soreness. I figured the issue was just allergies so I made sure to take my allergy meds to try to deal with it and occasionally taking some pain killers. It seemed to work until the 25th of August when my eye was red, leaking, extremely sensitive to light, any attempt to close it came with pain and I could barely see out of it. So I had my grandma drive me to immediate care at a nearby clinic. They diagnosed me with pink eye, prescribed some eye drops to take and told me to schedule an appointment with a nearby specialist. After making the appointment with the specialist for the friday of that week, my mom called and had me go to a trusted eye doctor and I didn't really argue since she offered to pay and I don't have any medical insurance. So I went to the eye doctor and he said that the clinic got it wrong and what I had was some kind of trauma to the eye. He prescribed me some new drops and they seemed to work really well and a few subsequent visits over the last two weeks, it seemed like things were looking up. I had some mild irritation to my eye occasionally but it seemed manageable. I went over yesterday and the doctor said I was doing alright and would just have to take the drops indefinitely. Not such a bad thing...until last night. At ungodly hours of the night, my eye was feeling worse once more, like someone had snuck into my house and jammed a sharp pebble under my eye lid. I was a bit sensitive to light last night and this morning but I could still see out of it. I have an appointment later this afternoon to figure it out but I'm just so damn tired and numb of this situation. I just want to be free of this pain or at least have some kind of resolution to this situation. I don't know. I'll update you guys after this afternoon's appointment.
