Eye Dryness And Irritation

I was so worried these two days. My left eye felt pain at one corner, like a sting on it. I was not sure how I got it. I thought it must be infection again due to contact lens. I always did since these few years. I have been infected with red-eyed a few times. I have been visiting eye specialist for more than five times lor!

Anyway, I didn't have any sticky mucuous discharge from my eyes. My vision is still good but just don't feel easy with a hurt eye.

I thought that the pain will fade out after two days, but it didn't show any improvement. Without further ado, I went for my usual eye specialist. He checked and found that there was some dirt inside my left eye. He removed it and at last, I felt much better. Luckily it was just dirt.

The specialist recommended me to use lubricant eye drops daily. My eyes are dry and often irritated which make me very uncomfortable. This is mainly due to the persistent wearing of contact lens, often staying in air-cond room, look at the computer a lot, allergic and others. As people grow older, the eyes will be drier. That's why the dirt was stored and there was lack of fluids in my eyes to wash it away.

*sigh* ...... How I wish I have money and the guts to go for eye laser to restore my normal sight! I shall then save a lot on contact lens and solutions besides keeping away from germs infection in my eye.

sorry to hear about your eye condition :( you know, i had lasik done about 4 years ago. i was scared but they are very professional. i have no regrets at all...no need to wear glasses and being able to wear sunglasses is so good!!! i have been wearing glasses for over 16 years.

gee, sounds like you are a little like me, getting old! hahaa...no, seriouly, check out the lasik, there should be a no obligation free consultation. ask questions if you will achieve there near perfect eyesight, if not perfect.

if you have problems with astigmatism, 'lou far' or dry eyes, check again if these are treated as well, or you may still need to wear glasses for them. as for me, i have too many complications, so even after lasik, i may still need to wear them, so no point for me.

good luck!
