Burning Eyes - really sensitive to light?

I believe my yes are Hazel. Light brown sometime, greenish most of the time and bluish on occasions.

 

Blue eyes tend to be more light sensitive. Even when raining, there are times I have to wear sunglasses.

I would even suggest maybe you have inadvertently scratched your eye which can give the same effect.

 

Well, no doctor visit yet.

My vision is nearly back to normal. I would say 98%. The sensitivity to light is nearly gone. I am back to typing here (as proof).

The drive to the event went better than expected. Which speaks to the cyclical nature of what I was experiencing even on the noted three year event.

The sensitivity added to challenge on the run on Saturday but nothing like what I experienced on the drive back. After the half-marathon, I returned to the Hotel and locked myself in the room until 1100hrs on Saturday. Basically, with the blinds closed and the TV on for light but not looking at it. The vision remained okay enough for me to watch the MotoGP race, uneventful.

But after I finished watching the race and open the blinds to begin packing, it became apparent that my plans for the day needed to be scrap. No Mural Sightseeing. I needed to make it back home.

So, I go on the road, doing the best to see what was ahead of me. I put full trust on the vehicles adaptive cruise control and the gray-hair lady driving about 5 to 10 miles under the speed limit.

From Monday to today, it has been good. However, I have remain cautious. I attended to my business duties which are generally computer driven report based, analysis and report writing with little hiccups.

Now, that things have settle down - last report out this morning, I will look into research and contacting a doctor. I found the key to the cave door.

I will touch on the race event itself in the other thread.

 

Perhaps, I may have been a bit rough taking the contacts out.

I am putting this event on the calendar. I know it happened last year, and it is killing me that I am not remembering the period of occurrence. Generally, I am pretty good with recalling facts.

 

Didn't read all this. If you are not experiencing any discomfort other than light sensitivity, unlikely you scratched your eye. That includes eyes tearing up, blink blink blink on up to having your father drive you to the emergency room while you're under a sleeping bag because you can't tolerate any light and begging the almighty to please remove the icepick from your eye or shove it all the way through and be done with it...

 

I miss family and friend.

I guess, if I ever needed a driver, I can call D'ern.

 

You could have scratched it, or, if your eyes were particularly dry, at times the lens can stick to your eye. When you go to remove it, you can tear the tissue and it will also produce they same exact symptoms of a scratch.

From what it sounds like, you sustained some type of tear in the tissue and it has healed itself up.

 

Your mother warned you that you could go blind so stop beating the bratwurst.

 

zika virus


it targets "latinos"

 

Sure you didn't just see Mongo nude or something? I'm assuming that would do some permanent damage.

Anyone who actually drives somewhere to run in any event containing the word "marathon" (in Minnesota. in February) should be advised that one's eyes are merely acting in the best interest of the rest of one's body.

 

cold compresses not hot ones on your eyes when they are itchy. heat makes them worse. dust and pollen trigger my allergies. see the doctor. bill and darethea

 

Sound to me like you have a scratched cornea. The dock will prescribe 2 things. 1, an antibiotic called oflaxin. 2, a steroid called tobradex. They will tell you to use the antibiotic liberally until its gone. The steroid will be used 5x day for a few days, then tapering off the following days. Depending upon how deep the scratch is, will determine how long it takes to heal. Typically 3-4 days and you will be back to normal, but will need to run the treatment for 5-6. You will need to stay away from contacts during this time. As others suggested go see your doc (regular eye dock will do) and get started on the treatment asap. It will heal on its own, but having the aid of the steroids will make it faster.

 

If it's a scratch I would guess it's healed in the four months since he posted about it...

 

LOL I didn't pay attention to that

 

I am cautious to report - that it has been a while since I had any issues.
I am back up in the MN/WI, so let's see how the next couple of months go.
