I have just come from another eye appointment. The first was a bit of a nightmare in that my "eye Dr." (no longer can I call him that) missed the fact that a contact was stuck in my eye for more than a week because he refused to "look" at the eye after I told him "I just feel like something is 'stuck' in my eye."
Last night, I found the offending bugger--it was a contact I THOUGHT I had removed on the first morning of my trip to Nebraska (over a week was this thing in there)--but it was so far lodged in a corner and not visible that I took the pain I was experiencing to signal that I had just injured the eye trying to put IN the darned thing.
So today, with Dr. #2, after the nurse left the room, I pulled out my camera--yes, it goes with me everywhere now-- I decided to collect the "beauty" of the eye apparatus before me while I sat in the chair and wondered if I had permanently injured my eye.
My eye is fine now. I have survived, but Dr. #1--you need to look up this word: hubris.
Goodness poor you, I cant believe you put up with the discomfort all this time! Dr.#1 sounds like he needs a good kick up the pants, and an eye test!!! Fabulous shot , super clear and sharp.
@jo13 You are very kind. What a nightmare! I'm just glad I have my vision now. Dr. #2 was nice and thoroughly examined the eye. Dr. #1 is fired and sufficiently reported. But I did love capturing a photo between nurse and Dr. visit. I'm so sneaky. :)
I like that you composed this with part of the machine in focus and part our of focus. I had a similar thing happen to me years ago due to being given the wrong prescription for contact lenses and these were hard lenses. I repeatedly told the Dr's office help that they felt all wrong etc. He never had me come back in and I went to another opthamologist who immediately found the problem (ill fitting contact lenses) and that I'd developed keratitis. I had to wear an eye patch over one eye as it healed, then repeat with the other one. Did I mention I'd just started college? I'm glad you did not suffer any permanent damage.
@shunter Thanks MOM! @judis I did have that focused vs. not focused in mind when I took the shot (albeit quickly because I didn't want to get caught taking photos of the machines!). In college Judi? Ahhhhh! Awful Dr.s! Ugh!
@automaticslim Yes, FIRED the Dr. and feel much better now! Wish I had had more time to explore the apparatus, but it was a secret mission while I was alone in the room waiting on Dr. #2, the good one. :)
