Well done Baddie, I hope your eyes have settled down a bit now.

Thank you. Will be on steroid drops for another month. The sensation of having something in my eye almost constantly is driving me nuts, and I don’t know what is causing it. The ophthalmologist had a really good look, and there’s nothing there 🙄

I had something like that before where it felt like a contact lensmight have slipped to the top of my eye. But it was because of dry eyes/blocked ducts and I had to put a gel under the lower eyelid and it cleared up.

I hope the drops do the trick.

Ah, good to know. The steroid drops I’m on cause dry eye, so that is only getting worse, but my vision has been saved once again. I can’t tell you how marvellous the NHS has been. I’ve been to hospital 5 times this year. The staff have been traumatised with being moved from the eye dept and popped on Covid wards for general nursing duties, and are now working extra hard back at their normal jobs, but suffering with with PTSD symptoms. When will our nurses, doctors, clerical and cleaning staff get a pay rise? 💙

Excellent The nhs staff certainly deserve a massive bonus for a few years after everything they’ve done.
