.:: Corneal Ulcer Too! ::.
Bebeh has been complaining that his right eye was in pain since Sunday and he's been to the GP twice.....and it was not getting any better...The sign & symptoms were similar to my previous experience, except for the 'hazy vision'.....in fact by yesterday evening, I could see the white spot on the right lower portion of the iris....and it seems bigger than mine....Yesterday the GP wanted him to have a check again due to the news of that Bausch & Lomb scare and in fact bebeh was not getting any better.....so he was referred to A&E SGH....
It was not so crowded in A&E....even got a bag ready for him in case he was supposed to be admitted.... so the dr took scrapping samples fr his eye to test & determine if its bacterial or fungal (not too sure what's the difference & which 1 is more serious) and given him 2 eye drops to be used at half hour interval....the medications were similar to mine.
With 3 days MC, he need not stay in the hospital (he declined the dr's offer).....Not fair! I was having the same ordeal previously but the dr didn't asked my opinion if I wanted to stay in the hospital....she MADE me stay in the hospital....no choices, no offer to decline, it was MANDATORY for me! Ok la mine was more serious than him coz that bloody corneal ulcer was smacked almost right in the middle of my bloody cornea! That's why I got the 'hazy vision' while bebeh can still see clearly even when he's ulcer was bigger than mine!
Last nite, almost every hour woke him up to use the eye drop (& now I'm getting a splitting headache!)....
Went to SNEC this morning and the dr bring him to see the specialist to confirm if it was a corneal ulcer.....and guess who's the specialist? The same as mine, dear Dr Chan! hahaha....and sadly but truely, bebeh was confirmed having corneal ulcer!
The dr prescribed him a 3rd eye drop (which i didn't use before and it was damn expensive!) and he's supposed to return to SNEC tomorrow morning for another check....
My poor bebeh (currenly resting) is suffering fr corneal ulcer....just like me....aren't we really meant for each other?.....sakit pon nak sama2 penyakit....Bebeh, ni la yg i rasakan dulu!....hehehe....
Both of us were using the same brand of lenses and the same brand of solution......both of us changed lenses regularly, he just changed the casing recently, the solution hasn't expired yet....i got it, he got it...so who's to blame? Isn't it obvious?
Here's a pic of the corneal ulcer....the white spot was enhanced due to the usage of the 3rd eye drop he got today.....see how big the ulcer is....
So contact lens users out there......see for yourselves and learn fr our mistakes!
