Doesn't my eye look perfectly healthy and normal to you?
Well, it seems that my optometrist thinks that I have a low grade viral infection in my eye, which was determined by putting a fluorescent dye in my eye and looking at it with a blue light that was similar to the ALS I use at work all the time. Although, he says, it might be accompanied by bacteria as well... and since I'm in discomfort, I might as well have a prescription for some eye drop antibiotics and use them four times a day. Peachy.
I'm not sure if anyone knows this other than my mother (remember that time I had pink eye?), but... I simply can't do eye drops. The whole thing is beyond me. I could stick my finger in my eye if I had to, but dropping liquid from a bottle is just completely beyond my technical abilities. I can't see the drop, so I don't know when it's going to fall, and those drops just hang on the end of the bottle forever, now, don't they? Actually managing to get it inside my eye and not somewhere on my cheek or eyelid is impossible.
Imagine my surprise when I got the first dose in properly on the first try. I hope the rest of the applications go as smoothly, because I really have no faith in my ability to conquer the complexity that is eye drops. Cross your fingers (or your eyes) for me. I can only hope that this will clear up whatever's been going on in there the past few days. Especially since it cost me $45 for the eye exam and antibiotics.

Good luck with the rest of the eye drops. Squeezing a bottle until a drop of liquid falls in your eye is not rocket science, I have complete faith that you can conquer this task!
Oddly enough, I don't remember you having pinkeye. Something I must have emptied from my recycle bin.
I know just how you feel Nik. I had pinkeye for graduation last year - or maybe two years ago now - and it was horrible dealing with those drops. I found that dropping them close to my tear ducts worked better than trying to get them right in the middle. Good luck!
