What has he been treating you with? And what form o' keratoconjunctivitis was it?

Well, the original doc had me in that Zylet until the appointment I had last week with her. That was Dr. Pham, who does my regular check-ups and my RX for glasses/contacts. She took my off the Zylet when it became obvious it wasn't working and had me go to make an appointment with Dr. Lee--which is who I saw yesterday.

So from then until yesterday, all I was on was the artificial tears.

Dr. Lee, when he checked me out yesterday, said I had managed to get an (unspecified) bacterial infection as well as the (unspecified) viral infection. It had gone on long enough, that he really couldn't ID it anymore.

So, he took me off the artificial tears (thank god, because that was eating a hole in my budget), and put me on Zymar--one drop every two hours when awake, right eye only. I got in three doses last night (and just took the secodn dose for today). But yeah, there is a definite improvement going on.

I go back tomorrow morning so he cna see how I'm doing. He said yesterday the Zymar was to clear up the bacterial infection before he can put me on a steroid drop to clear up the viral part. Looks like it's working fine so far. :)

Yow. I like this Dr. Lee.

I made an appointment to go have my eyes looked at, but had to reschedule due to extraordinary enervating lassitude of the type where getting up seems like a Federal engineering project. Hopefully mine will go away--I think it's getting better.

So do I. Like I said, if he were a 'general' eye practitioner, he'd have a new patient for life.

Ugh. I hope yours heals up too, but I;d still go in when I could if I were you--after all, me going 'it's okay, it'll take care of itself' is how I got into my own little mess. :P

Yeah. Mine isn't blurry except in the "have gunk on surface of eye drifting past" sense, and the redness comes and goes, so I'm thinking it's more a manifestation of general systemic lurgy than a specific eye disease, but I'ma try to get in this weekend anyway.
