Hydrops for the first time
Posted: Sat 11 Nov 2006 8:19 pm
About 8 weeks ago i was happily working away in my little piece of personal paradise that is Faliraki,when my mood was interrupted by a strange new "firework" in my vision while looking at bright lights,as the night wore on this became a blur similar to the effect of a dry and smoky lens so i thought nothing of it and went home to get some refresh fake tears drops,so in my eyes they went but to no avail,so i removed said lens and discovered,to my horror that it wasnt my lens but my eye,so off to bed i went,slightly worried but not overly as it didnt hurt,vowing to go to the doctors in the morning.
So the next day there i am waking up in agony,eye watering like a hosepipe and i think to myself "not good at all this",so i trot off to Rhodes hospital A&E and they refer me to the eye clinic where i am duly informed i have hydrops and the specialist(im assured she is the number one in greece) gives me a prescription for 2 types of eye drops,one a steroid,one an antibiotic.
The reason im posting is because all the info online about this seems to be so full of jargon that i dont need to know,so folks,real life experiences if you will?
