I've had about enough of my face and eyes acting up. I finally made an appointment with my eye doctor. The redness and gook in my eyes are getting annoying and I'm just tired of not being normal. As you know I went to my primary care with 2 prescriptions and no luck. Then I went to the dermatologist got 1 prescription and started getting relief. But my eyes were still giving me issues. I'm angry but then I started to get nervous. I just got a clean bill of heath from the eye doc back in August. Could something wrong be happening? I just couldn't sit back and do nothing about it. So I got called back and the assistant had me put my face up against this machine. She had a symbol lite up in green. She turned a knob and the symbol went out of focus, back in focus and out of focus. I thought oh geez, I hope my eyes are doing what their suppose to. Then she blew some air in my eyes which I couldn't help but blink and then of course my eyes watered. Is that good or bad? I waited a few minutes and the doctor called me back. He had me put my face up to a machine and did a few things. I'm thinking. Please give me a positive sign. He then pulled the machine away and asked me what was the problem. So I explained to him when I came in back in August I had a good appt with you but showed that I had a little dryness under my eye which you said to put some hydrocortisone cream on. Well I did and it didn't clear it up so I let it go for a few weeks. Then I went to my primary care who prescribed (as I handed him the meds) these prescriptions. They didn't work. So weeks later I went to my dermatologist. She said A, B, & C and prescribed me this (handed him the med). I told him she was thinking of a steroid eye drop but didn't cause she wanted to see how the steroid cream did. And so far it's doing well but I worry since I'm putting it around my eyes what kind of long term damage it could do. So he explained what he thought was best for me and prescribed me an eye drop. I do like my eye doctor so I'm hoping this eye drop will nip it in the butt cause I'm really tired of not wearing makeup and I'm super tired of waking up in the morning with my eyes sealed shut. So after the mega long line at the grocery store I finally got my eye drops. Around 10pm I took my 1st dose and this was so different from my last eye drop prescription. This one was not ice cold, it was very thick so it didn't run out of my eyes and it didn't seem to burn or sting my eye. Well, we'll see how my eyes look in the morning but as of now, I'm comfortable with this medicine and I'm happy that the doctor didn't say anything negative about my eyesight. Just to try to figure out what could have caused this to occur by focusing on anything that could agitate me. Such as new cologne, or facial lotion. Possibly something new at work or at home. I know there's a ton of dust on the desks at work and sometimes when the cleaning people come by and dust it goes everywhere. Or maybe it's my cell phone or my work phone? Sure they could use a little clorox. Well whatever the case may be, hopefully I'm on my way to a cure.
What's the eye drop called, if you don't mind me asking?
