I can't believe it....

I'm glad that the doctor is finally paying attention to your eye problems. It shouldn't have gone on this long. I hope you're better soon.

Good thing the doctor finally figured it out! I had lasix and loved it! The only problem was that I ended up with "dry eye." I was much older than you though, and I think that might have been why. I would check into that seriously though.
I used Restasis daily for about 4 years, and now it is pretty much gone!

So the optometrist thought the redness would clear up in 2-3 days but I should keep taking the drops for 5-7 days to make sure it's all gone. Well, it's the beginning of day 4 and they are still very red! This morning it hurt to open my eyes and I kept them closed while Scott drove me to work this morning because they would not stop watering when they were open! The drops are about half gone but I'll use them until it's empty!

Maybe you should find a specialist. This has gone on wayyy too long!

[Lindsey]

If it doesn't clear up by the end of the week, I will go back and probably be referred to a specialist

I think that if you're still having problems then you should go to a specialist. This has gone on way too long.

I called the optometrist when they opened this morning and got in just after lunch. She agreed that my eyes haven't responded at all to the new antibiotics and it's a really stubborn infection so she called an opthamologist and by the time I got back to my office they called me and would like me to go to the hospital at 4:00 today, so another hour and a half. That was quick! They may do a culture or something to figure out what it really is and see what they can do to get rid of it for good. The optometrist thinks it's probably related to the infections I was having around Christmas, so it's recurring. Keep your fingers crossed for me and my poor eyes!
