Today was appointment day with my ophthalmologist. He checked my left eye and confirmed what I had thought for the past few days—the redness had diminished somewhat. However, he was puzzled as to why it had not cleared up completely, after all it had been 3 weeks since my surgery. He laid out some possible factors for me:
- An allergy to one of the meds
- A blocked blood vessel or two in the white of my eye
- Environmental factors such as the hazy weather we’ve been having recently
The second one was the most troubling. As a consequence he changed my eye meds again, this time no more steroid stuff. I have to report back to him in a fortnight’s time, and hopefully all the redness will disappear soon. I’m getting sick and frustrated with it!
