To’s the short version... A few months back, I started noticing my vision in my left eye was getting progressively worse (my right eye was already at a 2.25 while the left was basically zero). After struggling to get any relief from contact lenses, I finally went to see a specialist at Mayo Clinic a couple of days ago. After running all sorts of tests because they couldn't figure out why my lenses weren't working, one scan revealed some kind of membrane on my cornea and a buildup of fluid.

My current treatment plan involves Andol 100, Normabel 5mg, and some antihistamine—I think it was Letizen or something similar.

I'm wondering if anyone else here has dealt with this... My doctor is insisting that stress is the root cause, claiming that just like how some people develop stomach ulcers, others might experience this...

Now I'm stuck on a regimen of Andol 100, Normabel 5mg, and some allergy med, Letizen or whatever it’s called.

Look, I’m no medical expert... if she told you that, she probably knows what she's talking about. But between the Normabel and these cornea treatments, the costs are going straight into the gutter.

I’m not entirely sure where to turn for advice, so I'll just post this here—this morning, I accidentally sprayed some deodorant directly toward my left eye, though I'm hoping it was just a glancing blow
After getting home from work, I noticed things were looking a bit blurry in that eye 😢
What should my next move be? I tried rinsing it out with water several times, but it hasn't really done much to help 🙂
Every time I blink, it feels like there’s still something stuck in there...
Aside from that, my vision seems fine
