Hi Everyone
Well....spent a long time in the hospital today....mostly waiting :lol:
At the beginning of the eye problems it was just excess tears {bad enough} but gradually it has got worse. My eyes are very inflamed around them.....also very crusty and that's not just when I waken up......its most of the day :?

Last visit to the hospital I was given some steroid ointment and used it but couldn't make the next appointment because of my THR

In between times I had gone to the GP and he didn't want to prescribe steroids again but said there was a definite infection and gave me an antibiotic.
At the hospital they said that antibiotic should be good for my eyes but would take some time to work and I needed a larger dose so its been doubled. I will have an appointment {through the post} for 6 weeks time. He says one of the things that is wrong is that my tear ducts are pointing up and out instead of inwards and that's why the tears. He also says I probably need an eyelid tuck??? but wants to leave it until they are less inflamed.
So that's it....not sure that I'm any the wiser really :lol:
Love
Hileena

    Morning Hileena I know we PM one another but thought I would answers your post has well...talk about complicated..it must have been a bit of a blow not being straight forward..wouldn't you think that an eye specialist would have a good clue by now..anyway this new consultant seems to know a bit more than the other..so will have my fingers crossed that these ABs work for you...xx
    Love

    Hi Barbara
    Yes he seems to know more than the others {except that he was a second opinion :lol: } I'll stick with the antibiotics and hope that it helps a bit......at least enough to do this eyelid tuck {or whatever??} anything will be welcome :wink:
    Love

    Hi Hilleena, Hope the increased antibiotics do make a difference for you so you can have the eye lid tuck. Does that mean you will have younger looking eyes? :o

    Good thinking bubba... :lol: Hileena that would be a good side effect ..I could do with a tummy tuck I did ask when they were doing my hip..but it was to far to stretch it... :lol:I still have everything crossed for the ABs working for you..xx
