Raging Eye Infection and Don’t have to Pay for Lost Lens
By admin | September 9, 2008
Well, back from eye doctor and no the lens is not in my eye. When I left i was very depressed. The eye infection so much worse- full blown pink eye.She has suggested using polysporin drops bu this seems to make it worse.. really burns when i put them in. When my kids have had it we used Garamycin (sp?) drops. She can’t prescribe to- just a medical doctor can. She said polysporin just as good.
I left office very low. She said not she could do much about lost lens- she will talk to supplier. I felt I could not really speak my mind as I live in small town and NEED this eye doctor- she was also the one to discover the problem despite my gin back to other eye doctor over and over with complaints about my vision. I do feel there is some responsibility in part of the office- I had NO CLUE it could fall out… also it did not fit properly and she had me bring home to try and get used to… fit is the main reason for a lens coming out. So there is some onus of responsibility on their part.
I don;t think I can afford to pay for new contact lens ever time I lose one and this feel out so easily- I did not even touch my eye or feel it come out. I hate these lenses.
I can’t wear them for at least a week until eyes clear up.
Some good news- wen I got home eye doctors office called and they said they would absorb cost of lost lens. This is huge relief. I do feel a bit like a “charity case” however, and sort of felt they were doing this as charity an dot because they share in responsibility. I would have paid for the COST of lens I think so no one out of pocket but maybe they were able to swing deal. I shouldn’t whine but my eye infection/conjuntivits ( wow is that an ugly word!) is really bad. I will not take photo- too gross. Eyes were welded shut this morning.. Feels like ti is worse and not better and gone through whole bottle of drops.
I am trying to feel happy but I just don’t.
