Thanks Allison. I saw 3 doctors yesterday. I'm not going blind which was my main concern. I might have to increase my prescription when all of this is over which isn't all that bad.
I have a weird viral infection in the corneas of both eyes so I need to take 2 anti-viral pills a day and use anti-viral drops 8 times a day in each eye for a month. My right eye has some inflammation and an additional infection so I need to keep that pupil dilated and use other drops. The doctors said it is probably a virus that has been dormant in me for years, but the heat and allergies of the last few weeks gave this virus an opportunity to come out.
Anyway, the residents at the eye hospital were very excited to see me because they never get to see this condition. It was funny because the residents and the head doctor were talking to each other using these medical terms and all I kept saying was "Translation, please." Then one of the residents stuck his head in to see 'the patient' like I was a specimen. It was a very exciting day. I'll keep you updated. I hope I didn't gross you out too much.
ETA: I am not in any pain. I'm feeling better since I started this new medicine yesterday. The doctors said that I would notice an improvement immediately, and I have.
