Just a Suggestion
Please learn from my stupid mistake!
Steve and I went for our yearly eye exam. It actually wasn't too bad. I was told the reason my eyes were having problems was because my eyes were getting better!
Seems only fair.
But my dry eyes were becoming more of a problem and I still can't afford the prescription drops I used to take. I've been getting by with over the counter drops since moving here almost 10 years ago.
The optometrist suggested that I get this tube of extra strength oil based salve. He even gave us some coupons!
Off we trudged to Walmart and bought them.
Stupidly and unfortunately for me it was a same size tube as a tube of oragel.
Me thinks you already know where this is going.Trust me on this you never want to mix up these tubes!
I was washing out my eyes for the rest of the evening.I used ice packs. I also made sure I had a nice soft washcloth around because my was dripping everywhere. I remarked to Steve that I hadn't have this much liquid coming out of my eyes since I had cataract surgery!Lol
This morning I woke up in a bit less pain. However my cornea is quite red, my lid is swollen and I am still not able to open it very well. Or for very long.
I'm writing this one-eyed.I
Remember kids-always read labels and don't mistake oragel for an eye lubricant!!!
