Red Eyes
and they are not funny at all.
It started last week. Sunday. Midnight. There was a sudden irritation. I don’t think my eye lid got bitten by mozzie. It can’t be Wii Boxing either because I haven’t got a Wii.
I knew this is not allergy or some kind of common eye problems. I therefore self-prescibed chloramphenicol antibiotic eyedrop. They cleared up after 2 days but there was some kind of stain in my eye.
I was damn panic, sial. I tell you. These are MY eyes that I am talking about. And I really dislike the idea of wearing glasses out at the public. Some say I look inteligent, but I personally think I look like a geek!
Anyhow, I was trying to get a doctor to check out my eyes desperately. And guess what?
“Oh! We don’t see NEW patient.”
“The next appointment is.. is.. NEXT WEEK!”
WTF. I was practically WTF. I might gone blind by then.
I completely loss my concentration at work. Hoping some kind of micarcle will happen at some stage. And guess what? It did!
My favourite doctor on the planet rang. He was asking me if I can change some med for our patient.
*oh well, can I say NO?*
So I thought: bugger it off. It might sound unprofessional, but if I never try, I would never know.
“Excuse me doctor, I know you always under the pump. Would you be able to check my eye, please. I think …”
I haven’t finish with my sentense yet..
“come in tomorrow first thing in the morning. 9am”
AWESOME.
So, there I went. Flagging my big arse to the receptionist who asked me to come in NEXT week.
“I suspect it is some kind of Meibomian Gland Infection”
GREAT.
“I believe you have used some drops. If it doesn’t clear up, and you feel uncomfortable, call me.”
FANTASTIC.
p/s: doctor knows I don’t need a presciption for an eye oinment. But, for the sake of seeing my name under his Rx and to proove to my gf that I ACTUALLY seen him, I requested one. *Happily kill a tree*
p/p/s: I went all gatal wore contact lense in the past 2 days. Now, my eyes got flare up again. Worst, I must use both drops and ointment for at least 10 days. Argh. Compliance is a bitch, I tell you!
ee..you were peeping at boys peeing in the boy toilet! kakakakaka
OMGoodness! We are sore eye twins!!!!!
You get infection, and I suffer from the swelling. lol
wuching: eh! dont point out the fact so obvisouly leh. if this is the case.. i would most probably end up getting stye, not meibomian gland infection lah!haha!
Dab: I have antibiotic eye drops.. ur doctor might give you the same drugs i have here..but maybe some corticosteroid-based eye drop. hahah! what a bunch of ‘drug’ users we are. ops!
I know the feeling! OMG, it’s terrible. It itches all the time and the more you rub it, the more it itches. Pure torture. I think your condition is kinda different though.
Huai Bin: Im hoping for improvement. I cant possibly going out (socially) wearing my inteligently nerdy glasses. so GEEK!
Better listen to the doc’s advice this time and get your eyes all better k!
