I can't believe it....

There is still no change so far. I still had yellow goop and crusties on my eyes when I woke up this morning so I don't think the infection is gone completely. I have a feeling I'll be getting stronger antibiotics tomorrow.

Have you considered lasix surgery? I used to wear contacts for a long time, then one day I was driving and the sun ray's hit my eye's and I was just tearing badly, I had to pull over. It was a normal sunny day but my eyes got fed up with the contacts. After that day I couldn't wear them or my eyes would start tearing badly. Well long story short the contacts did damage my eyes a little bit.
Do a little research on lasix surgery I love it.

Yeah, I'm hoping to have the surgery next year. My dad had it done at least a year ago now, and he is doing great. My optometrist wants me to wait another year to make sure my eyes aren't changing prescription much (there was only a slight change over the past year). So if they're staying stable by my next eye exam I'll look into it further!

The optometrist said she thinks I still have a slight infection left. She gave me a prescription for the strongest antibiotic eye drop available, and wants me to use it for 5-7 days. If it's not better then, I get to go back to her again. Luckily this one is only 3x a day instead of once per hour! Anyways, I thought I'd be paying for these appointments just like I'd pay for an eye exam because my insurance doesn't cover vision care. BUT apparently these consultations are just covered under my general provincial health care! Who knew! So when I went to Walmart for my prescription, I got to do a little shopping for myself too with that money I saved lol.

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!
