Crusty eye update

I know, the title totally has you wanting to hear more. Anyhow, a while back I blogged about how my tears burn when I cry and that my eyes get really crusty, so much that I can no longer wear contacts. Welp, I went to the eye doctor Saturday, and he said that I probably have developed an allergy, or my eyes just produce too much oil. Glamorous! So he prescribed these eye drops (that health insurance will cover) called Pataday that are supposed to stop my eyes from producing gook that dirties up my contacts. He also recommended that I wear one-day contacts, which of course will be more expensive, but I figure won’t be so bad so long as I mix things up by wearing glasses half the time.

So this week is a trial period with the contacts and eye drops to see if I can handle them. If so, I may be able to wear contacts again regularly. Yay!
