My so called good eye has been watering and giving me fits for several months. Refresh drops helped some. But even worse is my vision. I’m guessing at letters on the pc screen. You may have noticed typos in my posts. Went to my ophthalmologist for my routine checkup on my bad left eye (thank you Shingles for the damage). Told him about the right eye.
He couldn’t correct my vision with lenses. He dilated my eyes and used his gadget to look for irritation inside. Then I go and look into a special high tech machine that maps the inside of the eyeball with a laser. Thankfully that showed no problems.
Finally he looked at my swollen eyelid. Said its caused by a blocked eye-duct. Chalazion is the fancy name. He thinks its pressing on my eyeball and distorting my vision. He instructed, Hot compresses on the eye three times a day and a prescription ointment on the eyelid. If that don’t work, he’ll drain it with a needle. :eek: I sure hope thats not necessary.
Never take your vision for granted. Get that Shingles shot now!!! I was 42 when Shingles attacked my left eye and forehead. Ten years of bad vision in that eye and daily prednisolone eye drops. They tried weaning me off them. I do ok for a few months and everything goes extremely blurry. Back to the prednisolone drops. I see ok with glasses, but I’ve now got a cataract that will soon need removing. They are scanning and mapping the cataract with this new high tech gadget.
I hate Shingles. Sometimes my left eyebrow gets itchy and numb. Ten years later. Damn shingles.
It Scares me when my right eye screws up. Good thing my third eye is ok.
