I don't know. Ever since I've been aware of what a drug allergy is, I've known that I'm allergic to penicillin.
Spent the whole morning with three doctors - one at the polyclinic, one at CGH's A&E, one at CGH's eye clinic. All ladies.
The optician had said they could be abrasion marks.
The polyclinic doctor said I could have corneal ulcers.
The A&E doctor said I should see the eye specialist immediately.
The eye specialist said:
- There were some white specks in my right eye too, but they aren't as serious as my left.
- My eyes are extremely dry. (Always knew that they were dry, just didn't know that they were EXTREMELY dry. Wonder if the dryness of my eyes is why I doze off so well. =P)
- My eyelids are oily.
She also asked the question in the subject line, and why I took so long to see a doctor (since I first saw the optician on Sunday). Gave me various instructions (wet eyelids with warm water, don't wear contacts etc) and told me to come back for a follow-up checkup on Monday morning.
Was hit by a bout of tears while at the pharmacy. Don't think it's the I-feel-sorry-for-myself tears. Didn't feel like I could scramble home and get ready to attend a friend's wedding at 2 pm, so had to ask people to send congratulations on my behalf.
Prozac advised that if they really are corneal ulcers, I shouldn't even think of EVER wearing contacts. AND that no lasik for me cos the ulcers would have worn out my corneas a little already. =P
Oh well. Specs for life? =P
