Both of my eyes were tearing ann awful lot last night as I was going to sleep. And this morning, as I was beginning to wash my hands, my eyes started tearing again.
My Mom suggested new eyedrops. I have been on two different eyedrops for a number of years now. I take one drop of Pat-a-Day each morning upon waking and then after I put my contacts in, I will use re-wetting drops for contacts as needed.
As my Mom was getting the washcloth for me to wash my hands, I told her that I have had optic neuritis for 24 years. (Actually, I think it is 23 because I was pregnant when I was first diagnosed. So, a little bit less than 24.)
I just told her that it sucks to suck. There are a lot of things going on with my eyes right now and I hope to get into see the neural ophthalmologist in May.
I really don’t like that I still hear that doctor when I was first diagnosed. I will never forget it, but I hear it now, as my eyesight is starting to be affected…
