28-05-07` eye infection

excruciating pain - spontaneous and sharp. hurts even i closed my eyes. any movement of the eyeball triggers the pain stimulus. felt that there was an open wound around my pupil region.

called up the optometrist again. she advised me to see the the doctor. a GP or preferrably an eye specialist. but its hard to find a doctor on a sunday after 7pm, let alone for a specialist.

found one within my estate. its a 'special' clinic in the sense that the assistant will ask you to read up the rules and regulations. despite my bad vision, i read. and i understand the purpose of this coercion - "conversation must be made in mandarin or dialects, any degratory remarks upon mandarin will not be tolerated." and "the clinic does not service to people with 'customer-is-king' attitude. on the contrary, patients who cannot afford treatment, will recieve it free upon request".

i was given medications and an eye drop.

was advised to stay away from eye straining activities like using computers and watching tv. hence, i was bed-ridden. listening to music then force myself to bed.

my vision gradually recover by the next day. but it still hurts occassionally when i blink/ tear / rotate my eyeball. sigh..

sudden vulnerability of losing my eye sight. one would yearn for some care from people close to her heart for a moment like this.
