Well I wear contacts usually and glasses when I get home. At work yesterday something happend to my eyes and they got all blurry with contacts in and looked cloudy. I had to go home right away because they were bothering me. So the rest of the day at home it was still bothering me. I figured it would be better in the morning. I wake up and my eye can barely open and water from my eyes is like acid. The right eye is ok just the left eye. The pain has been incredible. I went to the doctor right away, and he tells me 2/3 of my cornia is missing. I'm like wtf and get a sick feeling. So whatever I did must have screawd up the eye pretty good. He said its not as bad as it sounds and should be healed fully within 48 hours. Its only 1 layer of the eye, everyone ever run into some shit like that?
Sorry to hear that you are going through this, Phil. Get well soon.

That's sounds horrible Phil. I hope you feel better.

I've always worn glasses and never did the contact lenses thing. Maybe one day I'll get Lasik. But I'm in no rush. I'm just used to wearing glasses.

If you can read this, your eyes are fine.



Glad you're doing better.
