Pain
Posted: Sun 21 Feb 2010 4:11 pm
Dear All
I am looking for some help
I was diagnosed with slight Keratoconus with a local opticians last year. I was prescribed a pair of glasses, which have help a great deal with my sight.
But in the last 7 months I have started to experience great pain in my eyes, which never stops. I managed to get and appointment at a local hospital with a consultant and explained all my symptoms, I hate bright lights either sunshine and night driving – headlights, feeling balanced – I trip up for no reason, really bad heavy headaches, stabbing eye pain, blurred vision, earache - I could go on. All I got from the consultant was ‘ Why are you here the steepest of your corneas is not very much’
I have been prescribed some eye drops to use during the day and ointment for use at night. They do not ease the pain and still wake 2/3 times a night- I get up and put more ointment and more parcetomol is I want some sleep
I take parcetomol when I want the pain to ease but it never takes it completely away
Any help would be greatly appreciated
