eye-O-drama

i just got back from ampang puteri-the sister needed an eye specialist.
god! this dr has so many ppl waiting to see her that we had to wait more than 3 hours for our turn....i was getting so restless and even managed to get into a fight with my sister..sheesh!

anyway from the moment i entered i see all these newspaper cuttings about how contact lenses can cause all these eye infections and in some cases leading to blindeness. yikes! i was freaked out n went to read further (coz i gt my own pair a month ago). so as i was reading on, basically it says that if you arent meticulous enuff it'll cause parasitic infections *swallows* and then lead to well all other eye-tragedies :S. and most of the time happens to ppl who use it for cosmetic purposes than remediation...so i'm lik phewww...i'm short sighted so i'm not exactly using it for cosmetic purposes and i specifically asked 4 non-color; but my power was too low for it.problem solved rite? now i'm feeling all good bout myself n my contact lense.

till this girl who was waiting with us comes out with a bandage on one eye. and the mom is explaining the procedure the dr used; sumn involving, expanding the eye and cutting and....i-don't-know-coz-i-tuned-out (it's too much for me! i might faint of nausea!). then after a while the anaesthetic starts wearing off n now she can physically feeel the cut n pain and pedih-ness of it all! she started crying n shaking her legs (in attempt to control the pain)...and her mother says this " thats y wen mommy told u not to wear contact lens, x wanna listen".

Me: *looks in horror at mom*
Mom: gives me the i-told-u-so look. ish!

then after million light years we get called in n wt is the first thing i see?

a board saying all the eye-diseases that happens with lack of care for contact lens. with gruesome pictures!

is this some sorta sign?????

in the anxiety of how the future my vision (literally) is gonna be i stupidly asked the dr...."erm, i'm wearing contacts, how do i take care of it"

Dr: din the ppl who sold u the contacts teach u to wear it?
Me: yea....*trail off*

thank god my mom rephrased n asked wt the dr thought of contacts. n she said, u have to be very careful, if it irritates take it out immediately n see a dr, u shud b fine.hhhhhmmm....expected ans but at least she din say its totally completely bad.

i think i'll stick to my glasses for some time....unless its really really reeeaalllly necessary. :(
