So last night I went through an interesting phase. I was blind.

Not completely blind, but almost. I could make out shapes, and colours but everything was blurred. Like seeing through a dirty glass bottle.

I probably shouldn’t have used these drops, but they were my last resort as my migraine, once again, was killing me. For about three weeks now, my immune system has decided I had a virus in my eyes. But I don’t have a virus. So my immune system is “eating” my eyes. It’s quite painful, so the ophthalmologist I was referred to has prescribed two things to kill this iritis (it’s called either an iritis, or an uveitis, look it up but don’t be alarmed by the Wikipedia picture, I’m nowhere near as bad). For the first week I had to use homatropine drops, which has a freaky side effect, it dilates the pupil. The effect is pretty weird, I look like Montgomery Burns in “The Springfield Files”. (for those who aren’t Simpsons fans, let’s say I look like I’ve smoked a looooot of weed, or taken LSD, it’s really freaky).
