Chapter 59: Swollen eyes.. WARNING! Kinda gross pics

Have been having an inflammation on my left eye for the past few days. It started out last week as a sore eye, but I kinda brushed it off as a small matter and put on contact lenses as soon as it was healed. I'm not 100% sure, but I kinda suspect that I might have forgotten to wash that pair of lenses before chucking them into my box of lenses. And only wore the lenses for no less than 4 hours. Anyway, my experience was pretty horrible but nothing very bad. Except for the fact that it really hurt even trying to blink or move my eyeballs and me looking like I just got punched..

Went to the clinic on Tuesday night, the doctor told me that it was just a sty forming and he would give me some eyedrops for it and some antibiotics. Truth to be told, he looked very unprofessional and messy. And on the next day, my eye was swollen like crazy, I couldn't even open my eyes when I woke up because it was so painful! The mild pain yesterday became intense pain. Went back to the same clinic in the morning, different doctor however, who seems more reliable and knows what she's doing, told me it was an inflammation and wrote me a referral letter to the eye specialist. Turns out it was an inflammation that was aggravated due to the eyedrops for the sty and there was no sty forming. Seems like I had an allergy to the drops. And there, I was prescribed with some pure eyedrops and some medicine.

It's day 2 now, swelling has gone down by about 65%, eyes hurt less and it's easier to do things now as compared to before. I could look to the side now, yay~ it's slowly slowly healing, although it still hurts, its only mild pain now.

So.. Please wait till your minor eye irritations are healed and wait for a week later (recommended by the specialist) before you wear lenses again, unless you wanna risk aggravating it. We only have a pair of eyes afterall!

And hundreds was spent on consulting the doctors, the specialist and on medicine. Imagine all the makeup and clothes I could buy!!!
