Ulcer on eyeball

[Mark Bolam]

Yikes!

 

After days of pain I've just been diagnosed with an ulcer on my eyeball.

 

More tests tomorrow.

 

Anyone experienced same? How serious can it get? Doc seemed a bit cagey.

Yup, i have had the very thing..!! caused by.. yes you guessed it, sawdust..!!

 

Went to the docs who then sent me to an optomathingyist who said it was an ulcer... she banned me from wearing lenses for 3 months, and had to use antibiotical eyedrops for like a week or so... i now have a small scar on my retins/eyeball/iris somewhere that never bothers me and my vision is still as crap as it always was and i am back wearing lenses

ive had something similar mark, had a big lump on the white of my eye, saw 3 doctors first one said it would be ok, 2nd one gave me eyedrops which did nothing, finally had steroid cream which sorted it.

Me too, super painfull. An Ant stung my eyeball!

 

Had to see a Costa Rican doctor who glued my eye shut for a week.

I too wear leave-in-for-a-month soft contact lenses.

 

If I have to leave off them for a bit can anyone recommend some specs that won,t steam up / fall off my head / generally annoy me this summer?

 

Thanks.

Thanks mate. Some nice stuff on there.

 

Hospital again today, seems to be responding ok to drops and creams. Back in Monday.

 

Side effect of the drops is huge sensitivity to light. Been down to Boots and bought classic flip down / clip on shades.

 

I'll look the bollocks at Capel tomorrow!
